Introduction
Millie Larsen, an 84-year-old causation female, has been admitted into the hospital for a UTI and dehydration. With staying at the hospital for two days, Millie is getting ready for discharge, but before she can be, there are a few things to teach Millie about personal tasks when at home; focusing mostly on good perineal hygiene. The specific strategies that will be used to teach her are: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.

Aspects like good eye contact, being at eye-level with patient, appropriate volume of voice, and speaking at a third grade level so they understand as much as possible are very important. Millie may have a hard time understanding f the learning environment does not fit her needs to concentrate and be attentive during the learning/teaching process before
