The nurse is admitting a patient who has cystic fibrosis. During the admission interview, it is apparent that the patient is well versed in most aspects of his illness. When asked about where he learned so much, the patient responds,
"I learned most of it myself. I looked things up on the Internet and read books. You have to know what's wrong with you to be sure that you're being treated right." This is an example of:
a.
formal education.
b.
psychomotor learning.
c.
informal education.
d.
affective learning.
ANS: C
Informal education is usually learner or patient directed. 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. 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.
