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:

A long-term outcome for a program that aims to reduce the risk of low birth weight babies among pregnant teens would be a decrease in the number of low birth weight babies born to the teens.

This outcome measures the ultimate goal of the program, which is to improve the health of the babies born to the teens.

Choice A is not a long-term outcome because it measures program participation rather than the ultimate goal of the program.

Choice C is not a long-term outcome because it measures an intermediate step towards achieving the ultimate goal of the program.

Choice D is not a long-term outcome because it measures program non- participation rather than the ultimate goal of the program.

The psychomotor domain involves physical movement and coordination.

Evaluating learning in the psychomotor domain would involve observing the participant’s ability to perform a physical task, such as palpating their pulse and correctly counting it.

Choice B is not the correct answer because describing how to check blood pressure involves cognitive knowledge rather than physical movement or coordination.

Choice C is not the correct answer because differentiating between two different types of vitamins involves cognitive knowledge rather than physical movement or coordination.

Choice D is not the correct answer because verbally stating the reasons for checking heart rate before taking medication involves cognitive knowledge rather than physical movement or coordination.
