1. Facilitate a knowledge-based client decision-making process
2. Provide information that brings about informed client consent
3. Enhance the client’s sense of personal control regarding his or her health care
4. Therapeutically affect the client’s health, wellness, and independence

Creating a well-designed, comprehensive teaching plan that fits a client’s unique learning needs ultimately helps clients make informed decisions about their care and results in clients becoming healthier and more independent. The remaining options affect the primary goal by enhancing de-cision making, providing for informed consent, and bringing about a sense of personal control.
