A nurse is teaching a patient’s family member about permanent tube
feedings at home. Which purpose of patient education is the nurse meeting?
a. Health promotion
b. Illness prevention
c. Restoration of health
d. Coping with impaired functions
ANS: D
Teach family members to help the patient with health care management (e.g.,
giving medications through gastric tubes and doing passive range-of-motion
exercises) when coping with impaired functions. Not all patients fully recover
from illness or injury. Many have to learn to cope with permanent health
alterations. Health promotion involves healthy people staying healthy, while illness
prevention is prevention of diseases. Restoration of health occurs if the teaching is
about a temporary tube feeding, not a permanent tube feeding.
