HEALTH TEACHING 2
Introduction
Iron deficiency anemia is a very complex medical condition that occurs due cellular and
metabolic dysfunction in the body. It is highly important that the learning outcomes are planned
in the very right and appropriate manner so as to develop a proper dietary plan. The iron
deficiency anemia if it occurs at a pregnancy time, it affects the nutritional transport mechanism
of the blood, affecting the health and well-being of both the child and the mother as well. More
importantly, the learning outcomes as decided by the learning objectives has to be adjusted in
such as order, that it fits the health needs and also the health care needs of the subject (Friel,
2019). The affective parameters and the cognition of the subject has to be bettered and it is
critical that the psychomotor parameters that are required to achieve the task should be bettered
in order to deliver a more critical lesson to the subject in the case study.

Case study
A 28 years woman named Janice is a financial adviser by profession. She is going
through her pregnancy. She is carrying her first child, the presented symptoms are shortens of
breath, fatigue, leg cramps, dizziness and mouth sores. The subject is suffering from iron-
deficiency anemia.
Part 1
Learning Objective
Learning objective refers to the things that are expected to be learned by the end of the
lesson or a course module (Smith, 2012). The learning objective comes with the idea that the
student already gets to know the things that are to be learned from the lesson (Smith, 2012). It

learning objectives are learning goal oriented and provide the insight of the learnings in points
(Smith, 2012). Blooms taxonomy actually help the student understand the objectives in a very
pertinent manner by the teachers who are planning the lessons and in order to frame the course
into a reading and learning framework – the bloom’s taxonomy is really helpful. Three learning
areas or domains that are used by the educators are psychomotor, cognitive and affective (Lowa
State University, 2019). The learning order helps the student to understand, evaluate, synthesize
and apply the knowledge in a pertinent manner (Lowa State University, 2012). While the
educators are planning the learning objectives, it should be achievable, exact, measurable and
timely as well (Smith, 2012).
Cognitive Domain
Learning Objective –by the end of lesson, Janice will be able to reason why and how the
iron deficiency anemia will affect her baby and her own health as well. In the cognitive domain,
programmed instruction, lecture, practice and drill are put into the framework.
In the cognitive domain, the learning outcome involves an object and a verb. Verb is the
knowledge dimension that helps the action taking process that follows the knowledge dimension
(Lowa State University, 2012). The actions must be measurable and this is critical that the
learning outcomes includes them as well (Lowa State University, 2012). The explainable and the
measurable objective is actually related to knowledge dimension that actually gets explores to
get a better insight into the problem solving related to the topic and a better clarity is achieved as
well (Lowa State University, 2012). The learning outcomes would address her learning needs as
well regarding iron deficiency anemia.
Affective Domain
