NUR 1025C Exam 1

NUR 1025C Exam 11. The nurse is preparing a teaching plan for a client diagnosed with hypertension. Which objective is appropriate when addressing the psychomotor domain for the client? 1. The client will discuss measures to take when experiencing dizziness. 2. The client will describe signs and symptoms of an elevated blood pressure. 3. The client will demonstrate how to monitor own blood pressure. 4. The client will define the dimensions of hypertension. In the teaching plan the objectives identify specific, measurable behaviors or activities expected of the client. Action verbs may be from the cognitive, affective, or psychomotor domain. The demonstration of skills such as monitoring blood pressure is reflective of the psychomotor domain. Psychomotor objectives include the acquisition of skills. The affective domain refers to attitudes, feelings, values, and opinions. The identification of the signs and symptoms of an elevated blood pressure are reflective of the cognitive domain. Cognitive objectives include those concerning the acquisition of knowledge. The nurse is working with a diabetic patient, and is attempting to teach psychomotor skills. This is occurring when the nurse has the patient: a. verbally describe his feelings about diabetes. b. answer three of five true-or-false questions about diabetes. c. identify 3 positive lifestyle changes to manage blood sugar. d. draw up and self-inject insulin correctly. The psychomotor domain incorporates physical movement and the use of motor skills in learning. Teaching the newly diagnosed diabetic how to check blood sugar is an example of a psychomotor skill. Learners in the cognitive domain integrate new knowledge through first learning and then recalling the information. They then categorize and evaluate, making comparisons with previous knowledge that result in conclusions related to the new content. Affective domain learning recognizes the emotional component of integrating new knowledge. Successful education in this domain takes into account the patient's feelings, values, motivations, and attitudes. The nurse is implementing a patient teaching plan regarding diabetes mellitus. One of the short-term goals of the plan is that the patient will be able to verbalize three symptoms of hypoglycemia. This is an example of: a. psychomotor teaching. b. cognitive teaching. c. affective teaching. d. VARK teaching. Learners in the cognitive domain integrate new knowledge through first learning and then recalling the information. They then categorize and evaluate, making comparisons with previous knowledge that result in conclusions related to the new content. The psychomotor domain incorporates physical movement and the use of motor skills in learning. Teaching the newly diagnosed diabetic how to check blood sugar is an example of a psychomotor skill. Affective domain learning recognizes the emotional component of integrating new knowledge. Successful education in this domain takes into account the patient's feelings, values, motivations, and attitudes. Tools have been developed to help health care workers evaluate the health literacy of their patients. One such tool is the VARK (verbal, aural, read/write, kinesthetic) assessment of learning styles of people who are having difficulty learning. The nurse is admitting a patient who has cystic fibrosis. During the admission interview, it is apparent that the patient is well versed in most aspects of his illness. When asked about where he learned so much, the patient responds, "I learned most of it myself. I looked things up on the Internet and read books. You have to know what's wrong with you to be sure that you're being treated right."
