The population health nurse is writing a pamphlet to be used by graduate students as they plan health promotion classes for elderly clients. What should be included in the pamphlet?

1. Teaching sessions should be at least 30 minutes.
2. Teaching sessions should occur prior to a mealtime.
3. Older clients do not retain material as well as younger clients.
4. Lessons should proceed at a slower pace.

ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Lessons should proceed at a slower pace as the elderly client is more accepting of that pace. Teaching sessions should be kept short (10 to 15 minutes) because endurance may be limited. Lessons should occur at times when learners are rested and comfortable. Older clients do retain material as well as younger clients once material is learned.
