| What are the four most commonly applied teaching and learning theories? | 1. Behavioral Theories 2. Cognitive Theories 3. Change Theories 4. Humanistic Theories |
| Define Behavioral Theories: | Some of the most common theories believe learning should focus on observable behaviors |
| Define Cognitive Theories: | These theories believe that internal processes must occur for the learner to begin understanding presented information |
| Define Change Theories: | Learners must be assessed for readiness to learn before presentation of the educational material so that behavioral changes may be implemented |
| Define Humanistic Theories: | The learner must be self-motivated in addition to being able to self-evaluate with clear-cut goals and outcomes (Stephens, 2016). |
| According to the learning retention pyramid, how much information can a person retain when the information is "Read" to them? | 10% information retention |
| According to the learning retention pyramid, how much information can a person retain when the information is "Spoke for them to hear" to them? | 20% information retention |
| According to the learning retention pyramid, how much information can a person retain when the information is "Presented for them to see"? | 30% information retention |
| According to the learning retention pyramid, how much information retention happens when: See and Hear | 50% information retention |
| According to the learning retention pyramid, how much information retention happens when: Writes | 60% information retention |
| According to the learning retention pyramid, how much information retention happens when: Dicuss | 70% information retention |
| According to the learning retention pyramid, how much information retention happens when: Experience | 80% information retention |
| According to the learning retention pyramid, how much information retention happens when: Teach | 95% information retention |
| Define "Formal patient education": | Formal patient education usually occurs in a classroom with a group of patients or with patients individually in an acute care setting. Formal education is structured, goal-oriented, and scheduled by the nurse when delivered in health care settings. |
| Define "Informal patient education": | Informal patient education is an unstructured, unscheduled opportunity. It is generally patient- or caregiver-directed, and it occurs in a spontaneous manner when the patient, the caregiver, or both have a specific question or educational need. |
| Examples of formal patient education | -blood glucose monitoring and insulin injection information for newly diagnosed diabetic patients -Childbirth classes for a group of expecting mothers -Class for nursing students on proper methods for obtaining vital signs -CPR classes |
| Examples of informal patient education | Answering patient questions such as: -What does this medication do? -How long will the procedure take? -What happens during this test? -Does this medication cause side effects? -Will the procedure hurt? |
| What is the most important concept that results in improvements in patient's health literacy? | The teach-back method |
| What are the 4 steps to the teach-back method? | 1. Teach new skill or concept, have pt repeat it back in their own words 2. Clarify or correct misunderstood information, have pt repeat corrected info 3. Say "What questions do you have?" 4. Continue process until concept or skill is understood. |
| Name the 3 health literacy principles: | 1. Encourage questions 2. Use plain language 3. Limit teaching to 3-5 concepts |
| Define "Self-directed learning" | This occurs when individuals seek the information themselves instead of waiting for the information to be taught |
| Define "Collaborative learning" | This occurs over time through multiple interactions with others such as nurses, respiratory therapists, and primary health care providers |
| Define "Incidental learning" | This occurs through mistakes and motivates the learner to engage in finding more information about why the mistake happened |
