a. verbally describe his feelings about diabetes.
b. answer three of five true-or-false questions about diabetes.
c. identify 3 positive lifestyle changes to manage blood sugar.
d. draw up and self-inject insulin correctly.

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. 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. 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.
