The nurse is conducting a class for a group of expectant mothers regarding basic infant care techniques. Upon completion of the class, what should the nurse expect the participants to do?
A) Set goals for the next class session.
B) Pass a written test on how to bathe a newborn infant.
C) Review the major points of the class.
D) Provide a return demonstration of a bath on a newborn doll.
Answer: D
The nursing process identifies needs, plans, goals, and interventions and then evaluates the effectiveness of the interventions. In this case, the evaluation includes having the client demonstrate the ability to care for an infant. The nurse would review major points before the end of the class and before evaluating the effectiveness of the teaching. Passing a written test does not allow the nurse to determine if the participants are able to complete the skills taught in the class. Goals for learning are completed after assessing the knowledge level of the class.
