Answer: B - When providing teaching for a patient with memory loss, the nurse can reduce outside distractions by closing the door and turning off the television. This intervention may help the patient to concentrate more closely on what the nurse is saying. Involving family members and presenting concepts in a concrete manner are important to help the patient better understand the procedure. The nurse should correct misinformation right away instead of allowing the patient to be misinformed; they can address this by writing down facts about the surgery for the patient to remember.
