Practice Question
Nursing responsibility in patient education includes the following, except:
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
handing the patient information for them to learn on their own without guidance
Rationale:
📚Patient education is a professional nursing responsibility that requires assessment, tailored teaching, and evaluation—not passive handouts.
📚Nurses must ensure materials are comprehensible to the patient’s literacy level, language, and cultural context, then verify understanding (e.g., teach-back).
📚Simply distributing brochures fails to meet standards of care and does not document learning outcomes or readiness to learn.
📚There are legal and ethical obligations to provide individualized instruction and to document both the teaching provided and the patient’s response.
📚Quality and safety demand interactive guidance, opportunities for questions, and follow-up reinforcement, which cannot be achieved by handouts alone.
