The item shows cognitive learning; from the nurse's description of the task,the client learns how and why to do the dressing change.Psychomotor learning occurs as the client returns the demonstration of the dressing change.With the client describing the task and demonstrating it,the nurse can evaluate the client's level of understanding and skill as well.Affective learning includes integrating new ideas,considering one's own preferences,and committing to a new idea.The question does not address the patient's attitudes toward the learning experience.Active learning involves the learner's participation.A return demonstration is a classic example of active learning in which the participant experiences the content.Passive learning occurs when the learner is a recipient of information but does not engage in it,ask questions,or demonstrate mastery of the learning.
