A nurse has taught a patient with asthma how to administer his daily inhaler. How would the nurse evaluate the teaching-learning process?
A) Using teaching aides
B) Identifying teaching strategies
C) Directly observing the patient using his inhaler
D) Documenting the teaching session in the patient's record
Ans: C
Feedback: Demonstration and practice are essential ingredients of a teaching program, especially when teaching skills. It is best to demonstrate the skill and then give the learner ample opportunity for practice. When special equipment is involved, such as syringes, colostomy bags, dialysis equipment, dressings, or suction apparatus, it is important to teach with the same equipment that will be used in the home setting. It is the most effective teaching method. By observing the patient using the inhaler, the nurse may identify what learning needs to be enhanced or reinforced. The use of teaching aids, identifying teaching strategies, and documenting the teaching session are not means to evaluate the teaching-learning process.
