Introduction
Anemia stands as a prevalent physiological challenge in women's lives globally. Notably, around 40% of
non-pregnant, fertile women grapple with low iron reserves. It is a common pregnancy symptom, affecting 15%
to 25% of pregnancies (Johnson & Pillitteri, 2007, p. 362). In this context, Janice, a first-time expectant mother
in her seventh month of pregnancy, is confronting the repercussions of iron deficiency.
This dissertation focuses on crafting a balanced, iron-rich dietary plan tailored to Janice's needs. She is
diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia, necessitating an approach that addresses her unique symptoms and
nutritional requirements, ultimately bolstering her overall well-being. An educational psychologist, Benjamin
Bloom, introduced three key learning domains—cognitive, affective, and psychomotor—which inform this
study's framework. We will explore Janice's unique requirements within each domain to comprehensively
understand her learning process and needs.
Cognitive Domain
The cognitive domain, as articulated by Bloom in 1956, encompasses the acquisition of knowledge and the
cultivation of intellectual skills. This domain involves the retrieval and identification of specific facts,
procedural patterns, and concepts, all of which contribute to the cultivation of intellectual abilities and skills.
