What is the main consideration in writing short-term objectives for an educational program?

Formative evaluation ensures that a program or program activity is feasible, appropriate, and acceptable before it is fully implemented.

It is usually conducted when a new program or activity is being developed or when an existing one is being adapted or modified.

Choice A: Structure evaluation is not the type of evaluation being conducted by the nurse.

Choice C: Continuous evaluation is not the type of evaluation being conducted by the nurse.

Choice D: Summative evaluation describes how well a design performs, often compared to a benchmark such as a prior version of the design or a competitor.

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.
