Several nurses are working together on a health promotion program for clients in a low socioeconomic community.
What would be a major concern for these nurses when preparing the programs?

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.

A patient’s self-efficacy can be improved by praising and providing positive feedback.

Self-efficacy is described as a cognitive process where individuals learn new behaviors that affect their ability to improve future events.

Promoting self-efficacy can improve outcomes and quality of life for patients.

Choice A is not the answer because explaining barriers to the patient may not necessarily improve their self-efficacy.

Choice B is not the answer because pointing out incorrect behaviors may not necessarily improve their self-efficacy.

Choice D is not the answer because providing facts about disease and health behavior may not necessarily improve their self-efficacy.
