The nurse is providing discharge instructions to a patient with memory loss after a head injury. What is the most appropriate action of the nurse?

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. Appreciating unique meanings refers to understanding the cultural or personal significance of the patient's health experience, which is important but not the primary behavior in this scenario.
B. Meeting affiliation needs involves providing support for social connections and relationships. While teaching the family could enhance their relationship with the patient, this is more about practical care.
C. Providing presence refers to being physically and emotionally present with the patient. While this is important in care, the scenario is about teaching specific skills for a practical need.
D. Meeting basic human needs is the most fitting answer because the nurse is providing the family with the tools and knowledge they need to assist with a physical care task, which directly addresses a basic need for the patient’s health and well-being.
