NCLEX RN Practice Question

The correct answer is to evaluate the client’s emotional response to the diagnosis, as emotional readiness is a key factor in the learning process. For example, a client who is anxious, upset, or in denial about their diagnosis may struggle to focus on learning. Other options, while related to education, assume readiness without adequately assessing the client's emotional or mental state. Assessing background knowledge without considering readiness may be ineffective if the client isn’t emotionally prepared. Evaluating learning styles should come after willingness and readiness to engage in learning are determined.
