The hierarchical order of Bloom's taxonomy for the cognitive domain

. Application:

• Course: Nursing Fundamentals
• Learning Objective: Given a simulated patient with an elevated blood pressure, students will be able to correctly perform and document a manual blood pressure measurement using appropriate technique. (This involves applying theoretical knowledge of blood pressure measurement in a practical setting.)

4. Analysis:

• Course: Community Health Nursing
• Learning Objective: Students will be able to analyze data from a community health assessment report and identify the leading health disparities present in the community, providing rationale for their findings. (This requires critical thinking and breaking down complex information to identify key issues.)

5. Synthesis:

• Course: Leadership in Nursing
• Learning Objective: Students will create a proposal for a new patient education program addressing a specific health issue. The proposal will include clear learning objectives, teaching methods, resource allocation, and evaluation strategies. (This requires combining knowledge from various areas to create a new solution.)

6. Evaluation:

• Course: Nursing Ethics
• Learning Objective: Students will be able to critically evaluate two different ethical frameworks (e.g., Utilitarianism and Deontology) when applied to a complex ethical dilemma in nursing practice, and justify their preferred approach based on sound reasoning and ethical principles. (This involves critical judgment and assessing the merit of different approaches to a complex situation.)

These are just examples, and specific learning objectives can be tailored to different nursing courses and content areas. By incorporating Bloom's Taxonomy, you can ensure your learning objectives cover a range of cognitive skills and cater to diverse learner needs.
