The nurse is planning a teaching session with the client who is about to be discharged. Which of the following, if planned by the nurse, would enhance the client learning experience? Select all that apply. Standard Text: Select all that apply
1. The nurse plans to ask the client to select the time of the session.
2. The nurse plans to show the client a videotape while the client rests in bed.
3. The nurse plans to advise the client to use the supplies from the hospital.
4. The nurse plans to review the material at the end of the session.
5. The nurse plans on using appropriate medical terminology.
1,4
Rationale: Factors that increase the learning potential include letting the client select the time for learning and reviewing at the end of the session so the client can ask questions. A videotape is not the best method of teaching, because there is no involvement by the client. Advising the client to use only hospital supplies is not advisable because the client must know where to go to get additional supplies as needed, and using medical terms could promote confusion and misunderstanding by the client.
