The nursing instructor is counselling a student nurse who feels very anxious when going to clinical. The instructor advises the student to think of each clinical day as an opportunity to learn new things. This is an example of.

D. This is the most appropriate technique for evaluating the success of teaching a client a psychomotor skill. A return demonstration involves the client independently performing the skill they have been taught while the nurse observes.

Additionally, the nurse can provide immediate feedback and correction if necessary, enhancing the client's learning experience.
A. While answering oral questions can assess the client's understanding of theoretical or conceptual knowledge, it may not effectively evaluate their ability to perform a psychomotor skill. Psychomotor skills involve physical actions and coordination, which cannot be adequately assessed through verbal responses alone.

Nurses who are comfortable with their own feelings about death are better equipped to provide holistic care and support to dying patients and their families.
B. Hospice services focus on providing comfort and support to terminally ill patients and their families during the end-of-life journey. While hospice services are often beneficial and recommended for patients approaching the end of life, preferences vary among individuals and families. Some patients may choose to receive hospice care, while others may prefer to remain at home with palliative care support or receive care in a hospital or long-term care facility.
C. While some patients may experience pain as death nears, it is not necessarily true that "most" deaths are accompanied by significant pain. With advances in palliative care and pain management, many patients can experience a comfortable and peaceful death with effective symptom management.
D. Most people are not frightened to die if they have adequate information about what is happening: While adequate information and preparation can alleviate some fears about death, attitudes and responses to death vary widely among individuals. Some people may find comfort and acceptance in understanding the dying process and what to expect, while others may still experience fear, anxiety, or uncertainty regardless of the information provided.
