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.
Correct Answer: 3
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.
