The nurse is discharging a client with an indwelling Foley catheter. Which instructional method is best when teaching a psychomotor learner about the care necessary?
A) Provide a booklet that outlines directions.
B) Provide the phone number of a nursing agency to assist with care.
C) Provide testimonials of others who have had a Foley catheter at home.
D) Provide the Foley catheter and equipment to handle and practice care.
D
Feedback:
A psychomotor learner prefers to learn by doing. Providing equipment enables the learner to use the equipment and reinforces the necessary care. The booklet would be appropriate for the cognitive learner. A nursing agency is most often ordered by a physician for nursing care but is not a daily service. Testimonials are effective for affective learners.
