Learning is the purposeful acquisition of new knowledge, attitudes,
behaviors, and skills. Complex patterns are required if the patient is to
learn new skills, change existing attitudes, transfer learning to new
situations, or solve problems. A new mother exhibits learning when she
demonstrates how to bathe her newborn. A nurse presenting
information and a primary care provider handing a pamphlet to a
patient are examples of teaching. A family member listening to a
lecture does not indicate that learning occurred; a change in
knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and/or skills must be evident.
