A, B, D
The nurse would know that patient teaching was effective if the patient verbalizes signs and symptoms of infection, can perform the ordered dressing change, and completes the regimen of ordered antibiotics. Nurses cannot teach a patient to be free of pain. Pain is subjective. The nurse can teach the patient strategies to assist with pain, but they may not remove the pain completely.
