QUESTION

Which teaching objective is correctly written?

1. At the end of the teaching session the client will list three strategies for control of hypertension.
2. The client will write a comprehensive review of two articles about hypertension.
3. During the class the nurse will present material regarding risk factors associated with the development of hypertension.
4. The client will understand how hypertension develops by the end of the second teaching session.

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 1

The teaching objective should include a measurable verb, should be client focused, and should have a timeline for evaluation. The option about the client listing three strategies has all those components. The option about writing a comprehensive review of two articles is not measurable (what is comprehensive?) and there is no timeline. The option about what the nurse will present is not client focused. The option about the client understanding is not measurable as it is impossible to measure the verb understand.
