When planning to evaluate a patient's satisfaction with a teaching activity, what is the most appropriate strategy?
a. Include a survey instrument.
b. Observe for level of skill mastery.
c. Present information more than one time.
d. Provide for a return demonstration.
ANS: A
A survey or questionnaires can be used to measure affective behavior change as well as patient satisfaction with the teaching experience. Observing for level of skill mastery would evaluate achievement of a psychomotor goal rather than satisfaction with the experience. Repeating information more than one time or in more than one way may be appropriate strategies to include in the teaching plan but would provide no evaluation data. Providing for a return demonstration would help in evaluating achievement of a psychomotor goal, not satisfaction with the activity.
