After teaching a school-age child how to apply a gauze wrap to a lower extremity, which observation indicates that teaching has been successful?
A) The child shows an eagerness to learn more things.
B) The child returns an adequate demonstration of wrapping the limb.
C) The child consistently wraps the lower extremity as instructed each time.
D) The child explains the importance of wrapping the lower extremity with gauze.
C
Feedback:
Demonstration of a change of behavior is the real proof learning has occurred. The child consistently wrapping the lower extremity as instructed is evidence that learning has been successful. An eagerness to learn does not demonstrate that teaching about the gauze wrap has been successful. Returning an adequate demonstration on wrapping the limb does not mean that the child will consistently perform this action every time. Explaining the importance of wrapping the lower extremity with gauze does not indicate that teaching has been successful.
