The CNO (chief nurse officer) has requested the staff development nurse provide an educational program focusing on how to manage suicidal clients
Which of the following is the first implication the staff development nurse must consider when developing this program? 1. Adults bring their past experiences into the learning process.
2. Nurses are taught in nursing school how to assess these types of clients.
3. Adults need to know why this type of educational program is beneficial to their role.
4. Adults have preconceived notions regarding the material presented.

Explanation: 1. Adults do bring their past experiences when learning but the first step in the educational
process for the adult learner is to determine the necessity of the education. Nursing students
are provided the education and theory to manage these types of clients, but they may lack the
?hands-on? experience to deal with suicidal clients. Adults may have preconceived notions
regarding the material, but this is not the first implication that must be considered, nor can it
be controlled by the staff development nurse.
