knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Comment on at least two other student’s postings to enhance or improve learning outcomes.

Example of learning objectives related to a nursing course for each of the six categories of cognitive skills using Bloom’s taxonomy:

1. Knowledge:

• Define the term “pathophysiology” and describe its importance in nursing practice.

2. Comprehension:

• Describe the difference between type 1 diabetes and type 2.

3. Application:

• Explain how to administer insulin injections for type 1 diabetic patients.

4. Analysis:

• Examine the pathophysiological factors that lead to heart failure.

5. Synthesis:

• Create a plan of care for patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). It should include interventions that improve the patient’s respiratory function as well as prevent aggravations.

6. Evaluation:

• Evaluate the effectiveness of different pain management strategies for patients with chronic pain and recommend appropriate interventions based on the patient’s response to treatment.

Comment:

1. You did a wonderful job of developing clear learning objectives that are measurable for each level of cognitive skills. These objectives relate to nurses and are relevant to each level of cognition skills.
2. It would be useful to list the possible interventions in the COPD care plan, including breathing exercises and bronchodilator use.
