Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Bloom describes performing a skill following a demonstration as imitation. Manipulation is when movements become coordinated. Precision is when the skill is performed following a logical sequence. Articulation is when the action is coordinated with few errors in a responsible time. The fifth category of the psychomotor domain is naturalization when competence in skill performance is automatic.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Certification is the voluntary practice of validating that an individual nurse has met minimum standards of nursing competence in specialty or advanced practice areas. Registration is the listing of an individual's name and other information on the official roster of a governmental or nongovernmental agency. Credentialing is the process of determining and maintaining competence in nursing practice. Certification can be obtained in many areas and is not limited to maternal-child health.
