A client tells a nurse, "My discharge plan is too complicated! I'll never remember everything I'm supposed to do." To facilitate the client's learning, the nurse concludes the focus needs to be placed on:

Question

a. maturation c. readiness to learn
b. organization d. participation

Answer 1

C
Learning readiness is affected by developmental stages and sociocultural factors, meaning that it is extremely important for a nurse to conduct a psychosocial assessment of a client before planning a teaching-learning session. Motivation reflects a client's desire to act, such as to learn certain information that she or he considers personally valuable. Organization refers to the presentation of material in a logical sequence, such as familiar to unfamiliar or simple to complex. Participation indicates client involvement in the learning process and readiness to learn.
