Answer to Question 1

Answer: D, E

The affective domain of Bloom's theory of learning is also known as the feeling domain. It includes emotional responses to tasks such as feelings, emotions, interests, attitudes, and appreciations. Listing technical skills and reading or summarizing information is part of the thinking domain, which includes knowing, comprehending, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The psychomotor domain is the skill domain and includes hands-on motor skills, such as demonstration.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

To facilitate the client and family member learning this skill, the nurse evaluates their efforts and gently helps them make some changes. This empowers the family and increases the chances of healing. Saying that the family is doing it wrong is demoralizing. Sarcasm only lowers the self-esteem of the family member. Offering to do it every day sends the message that the nurse does not trust the family's ability to learn the proper procedure.
