A nurse is providing health teaching to a client who has been admitted to the health care facility with chicken pox. How should the nurse prove that teaching standards are met?
A) Ask the client about the teaching and learning gained.
B) Record the teaching and learning in the client's medical record.
C) Ask the physician about the teaching standards followed.
D) Study the change in the client's behavior after teaching and learning.
B
Feedback:
The best proof of compliance with teaching standards is to document teaching and learning in the client's medical record. Asking the client or the physician does not prove that the teaching standards have been followed. Studying the change in the client's behavior is also not the best way to document the fact that the standards have been adhered to.
