ANS: D
Carl Rogers' (1983) ideas provide a theoretical foundation for the use of teaching methodologies in client-centered health teaching. Rogers emphasizes the primacy of the teacher-learner relationship as the means through which learning occurs. He describes learner-centered teaching as an interactive process. Applied to health care, a learner-centered approach involves engaging clients as active partners in the learning process and helping them take responsibility for their own learning to whatever extent possible. Rogers insists that the teacher must start where the learner is, structuring the learning process to support the learner's natural desire to learn and being mindful of learner characteristics that enable or impede the process.
