Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Learning environment, learning style, listing clear objectives and goal statements, and understanding the seriousness of the situation are all principles of learning. Financial ability is not a principle of learning, but should be an important consideration and assessment when preparing for discharge of the patient and future compliance of the treatment regimen.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
Basic mathematical formulas learned previously, incorporating a person's previous experiences and perceptions, and a relationship between prior experiences and new concepts characterize the cognitive domain level of learning. A patient's opinion regarding wellness is an example of the affective domain. Skill demonstration using a step-by-step approach is an example of the psychomotor domain.
