Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Ridicule or sarcasm can lead to withdrawal from learning, as in reminding an adult client that a child can perform the task or of not being discharged until the skill is learned.
Rationale 2: Statements about having somebody else learn the technique may also cause the learner to avoid the teaching moment and to avoid learning the technique altogether.
Rationale 3: Feedback should be meaningful to the learner and should support the desired behavior through praise, positively worded corrections, and suggestions of alternative methods.
Rationale 4: Ridicule or sarcasm can lead to withdrawal from learning, as in reminding an adult client that a child can perform the task or of not being discharged until the skill is learned.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Statements about fear of the situation need to be addressed so the fear will not inhibit the learning process.
Rationale 2: Readiness to learn is the demonstration of behaviors or cues that reflect a learner's motivation, desire, and ability to learn at a specific time. The client who wants the spouse involved is demonstrating motivation and willingness, but also wants support from the spouse as well.
Rationale 3: Wanting to wait until the baby is older reflects uncertainty and possibly fear and should be addressed before learning can occur.
Rationale 4: Wanting to wait until discharge reflects uncertainty and possibly fear and should be addressed before learning can occur.
