A school of nursing learns that an outbreak of influenza has occurred at an organization that will affect the way the students arrive, prepare, and use personal protective equipment during clinical. Which approach should the instructor use to prepare the students for participating in clinical the next day?

A) Email
B) Video podcast
C) Twitter comment
D) Public service announcement


B) Video podcast

Explanation: A) An email does not provide the opportunity to demonstrate the use of protective personal equipment.
B) The video podcast is a consideration when an audio file is insufficient for presenting a topic that would be better explained using video in addition to the audio. These files are shared over the Internet in the form of a recorded lecture (with or without video), or an informational discussion, and students are then able to access them using their smartphones, computers, or tablets. Video podcasting is very similar to what is found on YouTube, which includes both audio and video. Podcasts alone are also an excellent way for faculty to notify students of emergency situations and would support the need to review and demonstrate the use of personal protective equipment before the next clinical day.
C) A Tweet has 280 characters, which is not sufficient to communicate the issue with the students.
D) A public service announcement is not a type of technology used for learning.
