Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
A kinesthetic learner learns by moving, touching, and doing. Therefore, the nurse would focus on having the patient perform the actual steps of the procedure. Watching the nurse perform the procedure and observing how to perform the steps would be appropriate for a patient who is a visual learner. Listening to the nurse's instructions would be appropriate for an auditory learner.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Varied literacy levels pose obstacles in the patient's learning levels. Lack of high grasping skills, previous experience, and prior knowledge do not pose obstacles in the patient's learning process.
