Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Determine students' motivation to learn about healthy food choices.
Rationale:
🔶 Assessing the learners’ motivation is always the first step in designing an effective educational program—it informs the nurse about readiness, interest, and barriers to learning.
🔶 Without understanding what drives or limits the students’ engagement, teaching strategies might miss the mark or fail to produce behavioral change.
🔶 This step aligns with the nursing process (assessment first) and allows the nurse to tailor content and delivery methods to the students’ developmental level and interests.
🔶 It also helps in identifying whether students are influenced more by taste, peer pressure, habit, or lack of knowledge, thereby guiding targeted interventions.
