A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about the use of a peak flow meter.
Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?



Correct Answer: A

This is because the nurse should first assess the client’s baseline knowledge and readiness to learn before providing any teaching.

The nurse should also tailor the teaching to the client’s individual needs and preferences.

Choice B is wrong because showing the client a video demonstration of peak flow meter use may not be the most effective way of teaching if the client has different learning styles or needs.

The nurse should also involve the client in the learning process and not just rely on passive methods.

Choice C is wrong because observing the client using the peak flow meter is an evaluation step that should be done after teaching and reinforcing the correct technique.

The nurse should not assume that the client knows how to use the peak flow meter without assessing their knowledge first.

Choice D is wrong because emphasizing the importance of the daily use of the peak flow meter is a motivational strategy that should be done after assessing the client’s knowledge and providing teaching.

The nurse should also explain the rationale and benefits of using the peak flow meter, not just tell the client to do it.

A peak flow meter is a small device that measures how fast a person can forcefully blow air out of their lungs in one fast breath.

It is one indicator of airways changes that may occur in people with asthma or COPD.

To get a peak flow meter, speak to a doctor.
