The nursing student has watched a demonstration of insertion of an indwelling urinary catheter. The student is now attempting the skill on a laboratory mannequin. What category of Bloom's psychomotor domain does this attempt reflect?
1. Imitation
2. Manipulation
3. Precision
4. Articulation
Correct Answer: 1
Bloom describes performing a skill following a demonstration as imitation. Manipulation is when movements become coordinated. Precision is when the skill is performed following a logical sequence. Articulation is when the action is coordinated with few errors in a responsible time. The fifth category of the psychomotor domain is naturalization when competence in skill performance is automatic.
