When caring for a client, the nurse gives day-to-day examples to explain certain points of the health education. The nurse also notes the client's concentration level and educates when the client is active. Which category does the client fall into?
A) Motivation
B) Attention and concentration
C) Learning readiness
D) Learning needs
Ans: B
The client's attention and concentration affect the duration, delivery, and education methods employed. It is helpful to observe the client and implement health education when he or she is most alert and comfortable. This also means involving the client in an active way by providing examples of day-to-day activities. Learning is optimal when a person has a purpose for acquiring new information. The client needs to be motivated to learn new things. Readiness refers to the client's physical and psychological well-being. The best education and learning take place when both are individualized. To be most efficient and personalized, the nurse must gather pertinent information from the client and determine the client's needs when learning.
