Question

The nurse is planning the care of a male client who is receiving treatment for acute renal failure and who has begun

dialysis three times weekly. The nurse has identified the following outcome: "Client will demonstrate the appropriate
care of his arteriovenous fistula." This outcome is classified as which of the following?
A) Psychomotor
B) Affective
C) Cognitive
D) Holistic

Answer 1

The outcome 'Client will demonstrate the appropriate care of his arteriovenous fistula' falls under the Psychomotor domain since it pertains to learning physical skills related to dialysis treatment and arteriovenous fistula care.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outcome "Client will demonstrate the appropriate care of his arteriovenous fistula" is classified as a Psychomotor outcome. Psychomotor outcomes are concerned with the physical skills and actions that a person needs to perform a certain task effectively. In this context, the appropriate care of an arteriovenous fistula would require the client to learn and demonstrate specific physical skills, such as how to clean the access site, how to recognize signs of infection or complications, and how to report any issues to healthcare providers. These tasks require direct learning of motor skills, which is a hallmark of the psychomotor domain of learning outcomes. They are often under the direct supervision of a registered nurse who can focus on providing dialysis treatments and ensuring that vital signs are monitored and sterile procedures are followed.
