A client who works as a cardiac nurse is newly diagnosed with a neurologic disorder. Which approach should the teaching nurse use?
- Skip the basic teaching because the client already works as a nurse
- Use technical terms to save time since the client works in health care
- Give all of the detailed information in one long teaching session
- Use simple terms and add information as the client shows understanding
Show answer
Correct answer: Use simple terms and add information as the client shows understanding
Medical professionals are taught like any other client. Knowledge in one specialty does not mean knowledge of another.
