Which of these strategies would be most effective for a “teachable moment” during a routine office visit for the parents of a 6-year-old child?
1. Select one topic and present a brief amount of information on the topic.
2. Review all 6-year-old anticipatory guidelines with the parents.
3. Review 7-year-old anticipatory guidelines with the parents.
4. Discuss signs of malnutrition with the parents.

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Children and families often learn best when presented with small bits of information. Do not give too much information to the parents at one time; therefore, selecting one topic and presenting information is appropriate. It is not appropriate to discuss malnutrition with these parents, since nothing in the stem of the question indicates that the child has a problem with nutrition.
