When a nurse is "talking through" a procedure or assisting the patient to learn, the nurse encourages the patient to:
write down the steps as she performs them.
read the listed steps written on a poster board on the wall.
verbalize each step until the steps are memorized.
close her eyes and envision the process.
The Correct Answer is C
A. write down the steps as she performs them.
Writing down the steps may help the patient review later but does not actively engage the patient in learning during the procedure.
B. read the listed steps written on a poster board on the wall.
Reading steps on a poster board can provide visual support but doesn’t actively involve the patient in recalling or practicing the procedure.
C. verbalize each step until the steps are memorized.
Verbalizing each step is an active form of learning that reinforces memory and helps the patient feel more comfortable with the process, making it an effective teaching strategy.
D. close her eyes and envision the process.
Visualization can help with memory, but it may not be as effective as actively verbalizing each step for practical, hands-on tasks.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Judgmental response.
This isn’t necessarily judgmental, as it doesn't express an opinion about the patient’s feelings or concern.
B. Using clichés.
Clichés are general or overused phrases meant to provide comfort but are not present here.
C. Changing the subject.
Changing the subject dismisses the patient's concern without acknowledging it, which is evident here as the nurse diverts to breakfast without addressing the worry.
D. Giving false reassurance.
False reassurance involves saying something unrealistic to make the patient feel better, which isn't directly done here.
