An example of a nurse communicating with a patient using open-ended questions would be:

A. Have the patient explain the procedure to the nurse to assess understanding.
This could be a helpful way to assess knowledge, but it doesn’t provide practical, hands-on experience immediately after the demonstration.

B. Give the patient a day to allow him to process and absorb the information.
Delaying practice may reduce the effectiveness of learning by increasing the chance of forgetting details.

C. Have the patient practice the procedure with the nurse helping.
Practicing the skill right away reinforces learning and allows the nurse to provide guidance and feedback.

D. Give the patient written materials to study and learn the procedure.
Written materials can be helpful but should complement, not replace, hands-on practice.

A. Guarding the confidentiality of the patient record by not leaving the patient screen "on" if he leaves the terminal. Protecting patient confidentiality is essential in electronic charting to prevent unauthorized access.

B. Learning the passwords of the staff nurses and primary care providers so that they can communicate with one another. Sharing or learning others' passwords violates security protocols and confidentiality rules.

C. Choosing whether he will use the computer to help in documentation or continue to use traditional paper documentation. In facilities using electronic charting, all staff are typically required to use the system to maintain consistent, accessible records.

D. Patient education to input information about herself, such as intake and output or symptoms the patient may experience. Patients typically do not have access to chart directly into their medical records.
