Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Some reasons patients have difficulty in meeting treatment goals are lack of understanding, different beliefs about treatment, different goals for treatment, and financial and time limitations. The nurse must determine the cause of the patient's difficulty and develop a plan to address it.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
The patient-teaching process begins with an assessment of the needs of the patient and validation of the patient's willingness to learn. Then the method of teaching is selected, and a variety of teaching strategies are developed. The nurse also determines how well the material has been learned by the patient.
