Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The Teach-Back technique asks open-ended questions, like what will you tell your spouse about changing the dressing, to verify a patient's understanding. When using the Teach-Back technique do not ask a patient, "Do you understand?" or "Do you have any questions?" Does this make sense and do you think you can do this at home are closed-ended questions. Would you tell me if you don't understand something so we can go over it is not verifying a patient's understanding about the teaching.
