A nurse is planning a teaching session for a group of adolescents who each recently had an ostomy surgically placed. Which of the following methods should the nurse use as a psychomotor approach to learning?

 

Choice A rationale: Group discussions represent the cognitive and affective domains of learning. They allow participants to share knowledge and feelings but do not involve the physical manipulation required for psychomotor skills.

Choice B rationale: Query and answer sessions focus on the cognitive domain. They address the learner's need for information and clarification of facts rather than the development of physical coordination or manual dexterity.

Choice C rationale: Practice sessions are the definitive psychomotor approach. They require the learner to physically perform a task, such as changing an ostomy appliance, to develop muscle memory and technical proficiency.

Choice D rationale: Role play primarily addresses the affective domain by exploring attitudes and behaviors. While it involves action, it focuses on social and emotional responses rather than specific technical or manual tasks.
