A wound care nurse approaches a client to instruct in home care needs. In which clinical scenario would the nurse delay teaching due to learning readiness?
A) The client says that a grandchild will be in soon.
B) The client is eating breakfast.
C) The client is anxious about physical therapy.
D) The client is meeting with the priest.
C
Feedback:
Learning readiness pertains to the optimal time for learning. This occurs when a client is in a state of physical and psychological well-being. Being anxious about an upcoming activity distracts the client from learning. Waiting until after the activity allows the client to be more focused on the teaching. Nurses may decide to delay teaching due to visiting family, eating breakfast, and meeting with a priest, but it is not from learning readiness.
