Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Formal patient education is delivered throughout the community in the form of media, in a variety of educational and group settings, or in a planned, goal-directed, one-on-one session with a patient in the acute care setting. Informal education is usually learner or patient directed. The psychomotor domain incorporates physical movement and the use of motor skills in learning. Teaching the newly diagnosed diabetic how to check blood sugar is an example of a psychomotor skill. Affective domain learning recognizes the emotional component of integrating new knowledge. Successful education in this domain takes into account the patient's feelings, values, motivations, and attitudes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Do not use abbreviations or medical terminology when providing patients with instructions.
