What should the nurse consider when developing a teaching plan in home care?
When developing a teaching plan in home care, the nurse should consider (1) the knowledge and skills the client begins with, (2) the client’s capacity to learn, (3) the health needs of the client, and (4) the tasks that will be taught. Additionally, the teaching plan should include new information and reinforcement of previously learned information. Documentation should include the need for learning, the receptiveness for the client and family, and progress made toward goals.
