The parents of a 3-month-old infant are preparing to take their child home from the hospital. Before being discharged, the parents must be educated on infant CPR. What is the most appro-priate learning objective for this situation?
a. The parents will be able to understand CPR skills.
b. The parents will demonstrate infant CPR skills.
c. The infant will not require further hospita-lization.
d. The parents will call the hospital for help.
B
A learning objective describes what the patient or guardian(s) will be able to do after successful instruction. The objective contains an active verb describing what the learner will do after the objective is met (demonstrate). Understand does not specify the behavior or content to be learned and is not an active verb. The learning objectives should focus on the parents as they are the learners; it should not focus on the infant. The parents should call the hospital for help but this does not relate to the skill being taught, CPR.
