A) Obtain a large classroom to allow the nurse to stand at the front and present information.
B) Obtain a small conference room and arrange the chairs in a circle for both the nurse and family members to sit.
C) Provide written information to the family and allow them to review it, with instructions to contact the nurse if there are additional questions.
D) Provide a video of information to the family, with instructions to contact the nurse if there are additional questions.
Ans: B
Teaching is an important function of the nurse. When providing education, it is important to offer the information in an environment that is conducive to learning. A circular set of chairs will allow the nurse to face the parents during the exchange. A large class that has the nurse standing and the parents sitting does not provide the ability for a personal interaction needed for this session. Giving the parents information in writing should be done in conjunction with a face to face teaching session. Video information may be beneficial but does not replace the face-to-face teaching session.
