A student nurse assesses the head and skull of a client and determines that the head is normal in contour. How would the nurse document this finding?

A. The cognitive domain involves the acquisition of knowledge and understanding, such as learning facts or concepts. The patient has learned the normal adult heartbeat range, which falls under cognitive learning.
B. The kinesthetic domain involves physical movement or hands-on skills, such as learning a physical technique, which is not applicable here.
C. The psychomotor domain focuses on physical skills and coordination, not the understanding of facts.
D. The affective domain involves emotions, attitudes, or values, which does not apply to learning a fact about heart rate

A. Have the patient slowly turn the head from side to side is not the correct technique for assessing the thyroid gland. It is used to assess the range of motion of the neck.
B. Have the patient tip the head back and cough twice does not facilitate thyroid assessment. It is unrelated to thyroid examination.
C. Have the patient tip the head forward to the side and swallow is the correct technique. This allows the nurse to palpate the thyroid gland as the patient swallows, making it easier to assess for any enlargement or irregularities.
D. Gently palpate from underneath the jaw to behind the ear is not the correct method for assessing the thyroid. The thyroid gland is located lower in the neck and should be palpated from the front, not from under the jaw to behind the ear.
