Clients give various responses to teaching sessions. For the nurse, an example of an evaluation of a psychomotor skill is:

1. Client states side effects of a medication
2. Client responds appropriately to eye contact
3. Client independently plans an exercise program
4. Client demonstrates the proper use of a walking cane

ANSWER

ANS: 4
Determining whether the client is able to demonstrate a newly learned skill is an example of an evaluation of a psychomotor skill. Psychomotor learning involves acquiring skills that require the integration of mental and muscular activity, such as walking with a cane. Having the client state side effects of a medication is an example of an evaluation of cognitive learning. Determining whether a client responds appropriately to eye contact is an example of evaluation of affective learning. The client who planned an exercise program is demonstrating cognitive learning.
