Ans: A
Feedback:
Measuring blood pressure is a physical skill, which falls under the psychomotor domain of learning. The cognitive or the intellectual domain involves intellectual activities such as thought, recall, decision making, and drawing conclusions. The affective domain involves the patient's and the caregiver's attitudes, feelings, beliefs, and opinions.
