Older Adult Ch. 14
* What is the best method to teach an older adult?
QUIZ!
The nurse is preparing to perform a functional assessment of an older patient and knows that a good approach would be to:
Observe the patient’s ability
to perform the tasks. Make sure that the patient is ready to learn before trying to teach. Watch for clues that indicate that the patient is preoccupied or too anxious to comprehend the material.
• Is the patient physically well enough to be taught? Is he or she in pain?
• Sit facing the patient so he or she is able to watch your lip movements and facial expressions.
• Speak slowly and in a normal tone of voice.
• Present one idea or concept at a time.
• Emphasize concrete rather than abstract material.
• Give the patient enough time in which to respond because older adults process information slower than younger persons.
• Keep environmental distractions to a minimum. Provide appropriate lighting and a comfortable setting.
• Defer teaching if the patient becomes distracted or tired or cannot concentrate for other reasons.
• Invite another member of the household to join the discussion.
• Use audio, visual, and tactile cues to enhance learning and help the patient remember information.
• Ask for feedback to ensure that the patient understands the information.
• Use past experience; connect new learning to previous knowledge.
