QUESTION

When the nurse formulates a goal that “the client will be able to accurately draw up the correct dose of insulin,” the nurse recognizes this goal as referring primarily to health teaching in which domain?

a. Changing attitudes
b. Psychomotor
c. Understanding content
d. Promoting acceptance

ANSWER:

ANS: B

Changing attitudes and promoting acceptance are in the affective domain. Understanding content occurs in the cognitive domain.
