Learning is best accomplished with the lecture format. c. Present complex subject material first while the family is alert and ready to learn. d. Families should be taught using medical jargon so they will be able to understand the technical language used by physicians. ANS: A Praise and positive feedback are particularly important when a family is trying to master a frustrating task such as breastfeeding. A lively discussion stimulates more learning than a straight lecture, which tends to inhibit questions. Learning is enhanced when the teaching is structured to present the simple tasks before the complex material. Even though a family may understand English fairly well, they may not understand the medical terminology or slang terms that are used.

ANS: D TESTBANKSELLER.COM TESTBANKSELLER.COM T E S T B A N K S E L L E R . C O M A clients culture influences the learning process; thus, a situation that is most conducive to learning is one in which the teacher has knowledge and understanding of the clients cultural beliefs. A large class is not conducive to learning. It does not allow questions, and the teacher cannot see nonverbal cues from the students to ensure understanding. The ability to understand the language in which teaching is done determines how much the client learns. Clients for whom English is not their primary language may not understand idioms, nuances, slang terms, informed usage of words, or medical terms. The teacher should be fluent in the language of the student. Developmental levels and educational levels influence how a person learns best. For the teacher to present the information in the best way, the class should be at the same level.

Sharing your feelings about your experience with a new baby blocks further communication with the client.
