A nursing student tells a peer, “There’s so much to remember that I’m afraid I’ll never pass the skill evaluation for changing a sterile dressing.” A helpful response by the peer would be based on the understanding that for most nursing students, psychomotor/clinical skills can best be learned bya. performing them.b. reading about them.c. watching a peer practice them.d. watching a filmstrip about them.
ANS: APsychomotor skills must be practiced if proficiency is to be gained. The remaining options may be helpful as first steps in developing the physical skill, but the learner must eventually practice performing the skill.
A. Performing them.
Performing clinical skills is the best approach to learning psychomotor skills as it actively engages an individual in the learning process. It gives learners an opportunity to practice under supervision, receive feedback, and develop their techniques. It also enables them to overcome their fear and build confidence in performing the skill. While reading, watching, and analyzing videos may provide valuable insights and complement the learning process, they cannot replace the hands-on experience and feedback that students get from performing the skill themselves.
