Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
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

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Some patient education sessions have formal and informal elements, because the nurse and patient may set goals together before the nurse formulates and implements the plan of care, and the patient is free to ask questions that may direct the session. The health care information is considered informal because it is situation and patient specific. Formal patient education is delivered throughout the community in the form of media, in a variety of educational and group settings, or in a planned, goal-directed, one-on-one session with a patient in the acute care setting. Informal education is usually learner or patient directed. 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.
