Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Learning is an ongoing process. Verbal instructions should be followed up with instructions in writing. Patients should be given a contact number for future reference. Written instructions for monitoring of parameters used to evaluate therapy should be given to the patient. Documentation is an essential part of validating the patient's understanding of the instructions provided. Although identifying the patient's expectations will affect the outcome, they are not part of the discharge planning documentation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
The nurse should assess the patient's readiness to learn when teaching the patient. The nurse should determine the patient's level of understanding of the content and the patient's education level and learning style when teaching the patient. The nurse should portray a positive attitude when teaching the patient. Goals should be mutually written with the patient.
