A nurse is preparing to teach a group of college students about organ donation. What should the teaching include to follow andragogic concepts?
A) Directions about how to become an organ donor
B) Past statistics about organ donors
C) Information on how this group can influence their parents about organ donation
D) Written pamphlets on organ donation
Answer: A
An adult is more oriented to learning when the material is useful immediately, not sometime in the future. For this audience, giving clear directions on how to become an organ donor would be more helpful than providing information about past or future activities, such as influencing their parents. Written information may or may not be helpful, depending on what types of learners are included in the group.
