  1. Client states side effects of a medication
  2. Client responds appropriately to eye contact
  3. Client independently plans an exercise program
  4. Client demonstrates the proper use of a walking cane

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Determining whether the client is able to demonstrate a newly learned skill is an example of an evaluation of a psychomotor skill. Psychomotor learning involves acquiring skills that require the integration of mental and muscular activity, such as walking with a cane. Having the client state side effects of a medication is an example of an evaluation of cognitive learning. Determining whether a client responds appropriately to eye contact is an example of evaluation of affective learning. The client who planned an exercise program is demonstrating cognitive learning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
If a person does not want to learn, it is unlikely that learning will occur. Motivation is the first factor the nurse should assess before teaching. To determine learning needs, the nurse should as-sess the client's previous knowledge level. However, this would not be the most important factor for the nurse to assess first. Assessing the financial resources available to the client for obtaining equipment is important; however, it is not the most important factor for the nurse to assess first. Assessing the client's physical and cognitive ability to learn is important. However, it is not the most important factor for the nurse to assess first.
