1. Nurses must consider learning needs, goals, objectives, content, teaching methods, and evaluation when carrying out client education.
2. Teaching plans are developed for informal teaching when distinct needs are identified or when common needs are recognized.
3. In the role of educator, the nurse should refer the client to other health care providers who specialize in the area of need.
4. Teaching is to be delegated to the advanced practice nurse specialist or the nurse educator.
Correct Answer: 1
Roles of the professional nurse include teacher, both formal and informal, caregiver, and client advocate. The professional nurse may also have advanced practice roles. Informal teaching does not involve teaching plans. Teaching is often done in collaboration with the advanced practice nurse specialist or the nurse educator. Nurses at the bedside also must share the role of client educator.
