Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Financial status would have no impact on the patient's learning. To interpret information using the cognitive domain, the patient uses prior knowledge, perceptions, and previous experiences. The patient's opinions and feelings are used in the affective domain.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nursing diagnosis used for patients with deficient cognitive knowledge and psychomotor skills is Deficient Knowledge. Ineffective Self Health Management is useful in discharge teaching. Effective Self Health Management describes a patient who is successfully managing the medication regimen. Anxiety would reflect a patient who is fearful or expresses concern regarding the drug regimen or shows a total lack of adherence to the drug regimen.
