Following an appointment with the physician the nurse is tea

Following an appointment with the physician, the nurse is teaching an independent living

elderly person about a newly prescribed medication. The factor most likely to interfere with

the effectiveness of this process is:

1)The client wears a hearing aid.

2)The client has a history of hypothyroidism.

3)The nurse provided written handouts.

4)The nurse is in a hurry.

Solution

This is a critical thinking question. I would say the factor if the nurse is in a hurry would interfere wiht the effectiveness of this process.

As she have to have time to prepare the teaching sheets.
