An industrial nurse is planning to give an informative talk on hypertension to employees in honor of "heart month." He plans to teach individuals how to take their blood pressure measurements
Which information is important for him to ask the planning committee before this presentation?
1. Ages of all employees involved
2. Names of employees who are married
3. Number of employees with high blood pressure
4. Type of room available and number of participants
ANS: 4
The number of persons being taught, the need for privacy, the room temperature, the room light-ing, noise, the room ventilation, and the room furniture are important factors when choosing the setting. The ideal setting helps the client focus on the learning task. Knowing the specific ages of all the people involved is not as important as providing an environment conducive to learning. It is not necessary to know the names of employees who are married to teach individuals how to take their blood pressure. Whether an employee has high blood pressure should not be as im-portant to the teacher as providing an environment conducive to learning. Having high blood pressure may be a motivating factor for employees to learn how to take their blood pressure, be-cause of its personal relevance.
