Teaching physical skills to patients is learning in what domain?

a. Cognitive
b. Affective
c. Psychomotor

ANS: C
The cognitive domain is very important because it will address the knowledge patients need re-garding their illness and how to treat it. The psychomotor domain addresses the skills that the patient will need to acquire to perform specific treatment modalities (e.g., the use of me-tered-dose inhalers). The affective domain involves teaching patients about the necessary atti-tudes and motivations for successfully living with their diseases.
