Bloom's Taxonomy Education Nursing Education
Bloom's Taxonomy of learning and its use in nursing education: The nurse must know how to apply her information to the patient's condition and the patient must do so as well. The next level (which not all patients may attain) is analysis: does the nurse and the patient know why this occurred? For example, a patient with diabetes might say, "I gained weight after I graduated from college, took my first job, stopped playing my college sport, and my bad dietary habits and my family history of diabetes caught up with me." The nurse must likewise identify triggers of the illness to apply them to a treatment plan that minimizes the future risks to the patient posed by the progression of the illness.
Chronic diseases
Bloom's taxonomy of learning suggests that there are different levels of mastery when a student first confronts a topic. There are also three domains of learning: cognitive, which pertains to mental skills of the acquisition of knowledge; affective, which relates to emotional growth; and the psychomotor domain which pertains to physical skills (Clark, 2015, "Original cognitive"). This taxonomy is not only applicable to students learning in the classroom but also to patients. Nurses can act as teachers, particularly for patients and their families managing chronic disease who must assume many of the healthcare-related tasks performed by nurses in hospital settings.
On a cognitive level, according to Bloom, on the level from simplest to most complex there are the following levels of learning, as located on a hierarchy. The first, knowledge, refers to conveying factual knowledge to the individual: such as the fact he or she is diabetic, has heart disease, or the mechanics of the illness. The nurse must have basic knowledge about the illness which she then transmits to the patient. However, this is only a first step. There must also be comprehension. Can the patient restate what the illness in layperson's terms, in a manner that is meaningful and understandable to him or her?
On the level of synthesis, on an independent level the patient can take the new information given by the nurse about the illness and use it to create new knowledge, such as the idea that lifestyle changes may be important to adopt before trying more intensive measure like drugs. Nurses can learn from their patients, synthesizing information from previous experience to make the information useful beyond a purely anecdotal level. The highest level is evaluation, or reflecting in an accurate fashion on the degree to which the intervention worked and determining whether it…

Chronic Disease on Patients Life Managing chronic disease Among the common chronic diseases that we have is asthma. Asthma is a disease that tends to be of airways and characterized by variable as well as ever occurring symptoms bronchospam, and reversible airflow obstruction. Some of its major symptoms include chest tightness, coughing, shortness of breath and wheezing. Cause of asthma has been associated with combination of environmental and genetic factors. How
Chronic Disease Economic stagnation and poverty are important consequences and causes of chronic diseases in the middle and low-income countries. Approximately ninety percent of all chronic disease deaths happen in the middle or low-income countries. People in these nations develop diseases at a tender age, die sooner, and suffer longer than those in high income nations. Chronic diseases like obesity have a major economic impact on people and families: it
Chronic disease is a growing problem in countries like the United States. Couple this with the high costs of healthcare and it makes a storm of problems for those seeking treatment and help with handling chronic disease. Common chronic diseases that become more and more prevalent each year are diseases like multiple sclerosis and diabetes. Diabetes is a notoriously expensive chronic illness to manage. Patients often experience complications from the
Diabetes: The future of a chronic disease The number of cases of type II diabetes has seen a dramatic increase in recent years, both in the United States and worldwide. The primary reasons for this increase are generally attributed to increased consumption of high-sugar, high-starch, and highly caloric food and a lack of exercise. The International Diabetes Foundation estimates that "one in 10 of the world's population will have diabetes by
In the long-term treatment of asthma, the administration of inhaled corticosteroids is often useful in inhibiting the attacks from getting worse to the level of requiring emergency treatments. Among the various permanent treatment methods available for asthma, ICS has been proven to provide the best results in asthma patients regardless of age. It is the prevalent preliminary treatment approach for recurring asthma in juvenile patients. The first dosage of ICS-Rx
Genetic Topics Topic 5 DQ 1 Obesity is a health condition that emanates from having excess fat in the body exceeding the normal amount for their particular height. It progresses over time through the intake of more calories than recommended by a physician.
