When a client demonstrates range-of-motion exercises, which domain of learning is primarily involved?

The domain of learning primarily involved when a client demonstrates range-of-motion exercises is the psychomotor domain. This domain focuses on physical skills, motor coordination, and the ability to perform tasks that require hand-eye coordination and bodily movement. In the case of range-of-motion exercises, the client is actively engaging in a physical activity that involves their muscles and joints, enhancing their motor skills and physical functionality.

In psychomotor learning, the individual must acquire the ability to execute movements with an understanding of technique and purpose. Demonstrating range-of-motion exercises requires the client to apply what they've learned not only cognitively but also physically as they practice and perform the exercises. This engagement in physical demonstration not only helps in reinforcing the learned skill but also validates their understanding through practice and application.

By contrast, while the cognitive domain involves understanding and knowledge acquisition, that understanding is primarily the groundwork for performing the physical tasks within the psychomotor domain. Affective learning relates to emotions and attitudes, which would not directly apply to the physical nature of the exercises being demonstrated. Social learning involves interactions and relationships, which are less relevant in the context of a singular client practicing physical exercises. Thus, the primary focus when demonstrating range-of-motion exercises is on the psychomotor skills being
