Questions and Answers

In the context of patient education, how does an individual's self-efficacy regarding adherence to a complex medication regimen most directly influence their transition through the stages of Prochaska's Transtheoretical Model?

  • By influencing the initial entry point into the model, with higher self-efficacy predisposing the individual to begin directly in the action stage.
  • By negating the need for relapse prevention strategies in the maintenance stage, given a strong belief in one's ability to adhere.
  • By modulating the likelihood of regressing from the action stage back to contemplation or precontemplation, dictating the cyclical nature of behavior change. (correct)
  • By determining the speed at which an individual progresses from contemplation to preparation, as higher self-efficacy accelerates decision-making.

Considering Knowles's principles of andragogy, how should a nurse most effectively adapt a teaching plan for a 60-year-old patient with a master's degree in engineering who is newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes?

  • By employing a directive approach that outlines specific steps and expectations for managing blood sugar levels, thereby minimizing potential confusion and maximizing adherence.
  • By designing the education around problem-solving activities that allow the patient to apply their existing knowledge and skills to manage their condition, while incorporating the latest research findings on diabetes management. (correct)
  • By adopting formal lectures and detailed handouts, ensuring that the patient is provided with comprehensive scientific information about diabetes to foster a deep understanding.
  • By focusing primarily on the immediate behavioral changes required, such as dietary modifications and exercise, sidelining the theoretical pathophysiology of diabetes to avoid overwhelming the patient.

When tailoring educational interventions for a patient with limited health literacy, which modification to a standard discharge instruction set would be most effective in enhancing comprehension and adherence?

  • Replacing all text with standardized medical illustrations and icons to bypass the patient’s reading difficulties entirely.
  • Including detailed anatomical diagrams and physiological explanations to provide a comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition.
  • Supplement discharges with short videos demonstrating medication administration and wound care, combined with teach-back techniques using simplified language. (correct)
  • Providing a comprehensive glossary of medical terms used in the instructions and encouraging the use of online resources for further clarification.
