Answer:
Space
Ample space is needed, especially when teaching skills, performing
demonstrations, or teaching to a group (instead of just an individual).
,Privacy
It is important to choose a setting that ensures patient privacy to maintain
patient confidentiality as much as possible.

A quiet setting is necessary to limit distractions and noise and to give the
patient the best opportunity to focus on the material.
Comfort
The physical comfort of the patient is important. Adequate lighting and a
comfortable room temperature are two indicators.

exact location is not of particular importance if the location meets other
requirements conducive to learning.
