To evaluate the client's learning about performing infant care, the nurse should:
a. Demonstrate infant care procedures.
b. Allow the client to verbalize the procedure.
c. Observe the client as she performs the procedure.
d. Routinely assess the infant for cleanliness.
C
The client's correct performance of the procedure under the nurse's supervision is the best proof of her ability.
Demonstration is an excellent teaching method, but not an evaluation method.
During verbalization of the procedure, the nurse may not pick up on techniques that are in-correct. It is not the best tool for evaluation.
This will not ensure that the proper procedure is carried out. The nurse may miss seeing un-safe techniques being used.
