A nurse is presenting weekly prenatal classes for pregnant teens who are at risk for having low birth weight babies.
An example of a long-term outcomes for this program is:

At each stage of life, there are different health problems and different preventative actions.

Healthy People 2020 has four overarching goals: Attain high-quality, longer lives free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death; Achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups; Create social and physical environments that promote good health for all; and Promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all life stages.

Choice A is incorrect because age-related risks are a focus of Healthy People 2020.

Choice B is incorrect because age is considered when addressing health risks and preventative interventions.

Choice C is incorrect because each developmental stage has its own unique health problems and preventative actions.

The objective that is not written appropriately for the program according to Bloom’s taxonomy is choice B. know how to take their blood pressure.

Bloom’s taxonomy is a framework for categorizing educational goals and objectives into different levels of complexity and specificity.

Objectives should be written using action verbs that describe observable and measurable behaviors.

In this case, the verb “know” in choice B is not an action verb and does not describe an observable or measurable behavior.

Instead, the objective could be rewritten using an action verb such as “demonstrate” or “perform” to make it more appropriate.

For example: “The participants will demonstrate how to take their blood pressure.”

Choices A, C, and D all use appropriate action verbs (identify, list, and describe) and are written appropriately according to Bloom’s taxonomy.
