A nurse needs to evaluate the effectiveness of a teaching session with a client. Which of the following would provide the best feedback?
1. Client communication
2. Process recording
3. Therapeutic communication
4. Verbal communication
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: A process recording is a word-for-word account of a conversation. It includes all verbal and nonverbal interactions of both the client and nurse. It would be appropriate to use for evaluating the effectiveness of a teaching session. Client communication, therapeutic communication, and verbal communication are simply types of communication-all of which are helpful in client interactions but do not provide a vehicle for evaluation.
