Nurse B has planned to instruct Mr. C, a newly diagnosed diabetic, in how to test his blood sugar
Nurse B has decided that due to time constraints she will quickly show him how to test his blood sugar, but she will not stay for a return demonstration to see if he can do this himself, due to other duties on the unit. Mr. C appears to be confused and becomes agitated halfway through the session. Which education evaluation area does Nurse B's training session need more work on? a. Process c. Pacing
b. Implementation d. Accuracy
C
The evaluation area of appropriate pacing was lacking in this particular example. Some questions that
pertain to the pacing of an instructional session: Did the education move too fast or too slowly? Was
there enough patient involvement? Was there a lack of or shortage of activities and/or practice time?
The answer is yes, because she did not build in enough time to enable Mr. C to practice and reinforce
the training. Accuracy focuses upon whether the information was accurate, not the pace at which it was
delivered.
