Accepted Answer

Imitation is the correct answer because the student is attempting the skill after observing a demonstration, which aligns with the imitation level of Bloom's psychomotor domain where learners replicate an action they have seen performed by someone else.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Teaching should occur approximately 30 minutes after administering pain medication to ensure the client is comfortable and able to focus on the information being provided.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

The nursing teaching plan should involve both the nurse-teacher and the client-learner, as it helps to ensure that the learning plan is tailored to the client’s specific needs and preferences. Additionally, involving the client in the development of the plan promotes client engagement and empowerment, which can enhance the effectiveness of the teaching plan. The client’s physician may also be consulted for input and advice, but their involvement is not necessary in all cases.

Lewin's work on field theory and cognitive psychology laid the groundwork for many of today's cognitive theories.

Question 12

What is the major determinant of the content of a teaching session?

Accepted Answer

The learning objectives are the major determinant of the content of a teaching session. The objectives outline what the learner should be able to do or know after the session, and the content is then tailored to meet those objectives. The other options are irrelevant or potentially limiting factors in the development of the teaching session.

Question 13

The other options (B, C, and D) have distractions or interruptions that could interfere with the effectiveness of client teaching.

Question 14

While progressing through nursing school,the student develops a system to categorize information as it is presented.Which theorist developed a learning theory that supports this categorization of information as essential?

Accepted Answer

Bruner developed the concept of scaffolding, which involves breaking down information into smaller chunks or categories and presenting it in a logical sequence to aid learning. This supports the categorization of information as essential during the learning process. Skinner's behaviorism theory focuses on operant conditioning, Bandura's social learning theory emphasizes observational learning, and Rogers' humanistic theory emphasizes self-directed learning.

Question 15

The nurse educator believes the best method for teaching professionalism is for faculty to conduct themselves in a professional manner.Which learning theory supports this belief?

Accepted Answer

Bandura's social-learning theory suggests that individuals learn by observing the behavior of others and modeling their own behavior after those observations. Therefore, if faculty consistently conduct themselves in a professional manner, students will observe and model this behavior, leading to the development of a professional attitude and behavior in the students.

Question 16

The nurse is teaching a client to self-inject insulin.Whenever the client completes a step of the process correctly,the nurse smiles and says,"Good,good,you are learning this well." Whose learning theory is this nurse using?

By motivating them to take responsibility for their actions behind the wheel, they can avoid similar accidents in the future.

Question 19

How are the behaviors in each category of Bloom's domains of learning arranged?

Accepted Answer

Behaviors in each category of Bloom's domains of learning are arranged from simplest to most complex. This hierarchy starts with remembering, followed by understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and finally creating.
