What type of learning does using a glucometer fall under?

Using a glucometer to monitor blood glucose levels is an example of psychomotor learning because it involves hands-on skills and the physical ability to perform tasks. Psychomotor learning emphasizes the development of motor skills through practice and the ability to coordinate physical movements. When a nurse or patient learns to use a glucometer, they are not only gaining knowledge about what it is and why it's important (cognitive learning) but are also practicing the actual technique of obtaining a blood sample, handling the device, and interpreting the results. This kinesthetic aspect of learning—where an individual must physically engage with the glucometer—is characteristic of psychomotor learning, which is essential for mastering any technical skill in healthcare settings.
