The client has been informed that he can be discharged once he can irrigate his colostomy independently. The client requests the nurse to observe his irrigation technique. Which of the following learning motives is the client displaying?
a. Physical motive
b. Social motive
c. Task mastery
d. Evaluation stance
C
Task mastery motives are driven by desire for achievement. The client who must demonstrate irrigating his colostomy independently to be discharged is displaying the learning motive of task mastery.
A physical motive may be seen in the client who has a desire to maintain or improve health.
A social motive is the need for connection, social approval, or self-esteem.
An evaluation stance would involve the nurse determining whether the outcomes of the teach-ing–learning process met the client's goal. Evaluation is not a learning motive.
