What should be reported to the nurse regarding the client's response to health teaching?

Reporting the client’s request for more information is important because it indicates the client's engagement and understanding of the health teaching provided. When clients ask questions or seek further clarification, it shows that they are interested in their health and may need additional support to fully understand the teaching. This feedback allows the nurse to assess the effectiveness of the teaching methods used and to tailor future interactions to better meet the client’s needs.

Positive feedback might seem relevant but does not provide a complete picture of the client's understanding. The nurse’s instructions are part of the teaching process, while client demographics do not relate to their comprehension or response to the health information presented. Focusing on the client's active involvement in their learning process fosters better health outcomes and ensures that any gaps in understanding are addressed.
