A client is practicing using an incentive spirometer after surgery. The nurse has explained the use, demonstrated how it works, and also given the rationale for the client to continue to use this device

Question

When mastering the use of this device, the client will demonstrate learning in which of Bloom's domains?
1. Cognitive
2. Psychomotor
3. Affective
4. Imitation

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Cognitive abilities include the "thinking" process that begins with knowing, comprehending, and applying knowledge.
Rationale 2: The psychomotor domain is the "skill" domain and includes motor skills, such as being able to use an incentive spirometer.
Rationale 3: The affective domain involves attitudes or emotional responses and includes feelings, emotions, interests, and appreciations.
Rationale 4: Imitation is not one of Bloom's domains of learning.
