The nurse recognizes that the client's teaching plan is most directly driven by:
1. The client's identified learning needs
2. The complexity of the client's health needs
3. The client's readiness and motivation to learn
4. The presence of cultural or physical barriers
ANS: 1
Teaching is most effective when it responds to the learner's needs. While assessing and diagnos-ing a client's health care problems, the nurse identifies the need for education that in turn gener-ates the teaching plan. The remaining options reflect factors that will affect both the teaching plan and the client's learning.
