This program demonstrates what approach to practice?
A) Eclectic approach
B) Outcome-oriented approach
C) Interaction-oriented approach

Ans: D
Supplementing knowledge and teaching skills to clients are activities that are central to the needs-oriented approach to nursing. Such a program is less likely to prioritize the relationship focus of the interaction-oriented approach or the emphasis on health environments that is associated with the outcome-oriented approach. The eclectic approach is more individualized to the nurse's perspectives, priorities, and skills.
