After implementing a health promotion program for the elderly population that attends the clinic, the nurse would like to measure nursing-specific outcomes.
The nurse could measure:

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.

Health disparities are differences in health outcomes or health risks that affect certain groups of people more than others.

These groups can be defined by factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexuality, income, education, disability, location or orientation.

Choice A is incorrect because it only includes ethnicity and age while health disparities can be defined by a variety of factors.

Choice C is incorrect because it only includes lack of a designated primary care provider while health disparities can be defined by a variety of factors.

Choice D is incorrect because it only includes lack of insurance while health disparities can be defined by a variety of factors.
