Which is the first action of the nurse when teaching the patient how to perform colostomy care?

A. Demonstrating how to perform active range of motion relates to psychomotor learning, which involves physical skills rather than cognitive understanding.
B. Expressing satisfaction with sharing feelings is more related to the affective domain (emotions, values, or attitudes), not cognitive learning.
C. Verbalizing decreased desire to commit self-harm is related to psychosocial or emotional learning, not cognitive knowledge.
D. Describing three symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis is a clear example of cognitive learning, where the patient demonstrates the ability to recall and explain specific information.

A. Organizing teaching materials and methods is essential to ensure that the information is delivered clearly and effectively, which helps facilitate the learning process.
B. Providing a private, quiet, and comfortable environment minimizes distractions and promotes better focus, which aids in learning.
C. Scheduling teaching at times when the patient is alert and receptive increases the likelihood of successful learning.
D. While the psychomotor domain could be relevant if the patient is learning specific skills (such as post-operative care), this is not a key component of preoperative education for a mastectomy.
E. Providing age-appropriate teaching material ensures that the content is relevant and understandable to the patient, making it easier for them to retain and apply the information.
