What is the major determinant of the content of a teaching session?
1. What the nurse likes to teach
2. The learning objectives
3. What is written about the topic in a nursing textbook
4. The time to teach
Correct Answer: 2
The major determinant is the set of learning objectives chosen. The nurse's preference in teaching is not a consideration. Although what information is available and the time to teach are important, they should be considered as the objectives are written.
