MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. If the nurse teaches solely by lecturing to clients, what part of the education process is missing?

ANS:   C

3. A nurse just finished teaching breast self-examination to a large group of women at a professional conference. During the session, she distributed literature and used culturally appropriate visual aids. However, the session was not as effective as it could have been. What is the most important thing the nurse forgot to include?

ANS:   C
