Question

a nurse is planning to use the teach-back method to reinforce teaching with a client about a new antihypertensive medication. which of the following actions should the nurse include to demonstrate this method? provide the client with an internet link to research the medications. refer the client to the american heart association. give the client written educational material about the medication. ask the client to explain the information using their own words.

Explanation:

The teach - back method is used to assess a client's understanding of teaching. Asking the client to explain the information in their own words (the fourth option) is the core of the teach - back method. Providing an internet link (first option) is just directing the client to research, not assessing understanding. Referring to the American Heart Association (second option) is a referral, not related to the teach - back method. Giving written material (third option) is providing information, not assessing if the client understood it.

Answer:

D. Ask the client to explain the information using their own words.
