The nursing student is planning an educational program for a school project. The program is focusing on cancer detection education for a community group
What should the nursing student plan to include in order to address the various learning styles of the target group?
A) A lecture using many examples for each learning need
B) Multicolored brochures with bright colors
C) A game board, with client matching terms
D) Audiovisuals, examples, group discussions, and activities
Answer: D
When teaching a group, utilize strategies to address visual, auditory, manipulative, group, and problem-solving types of learners. Using different techniques and a variety of activities is a good way to match the various learning styles of group participants. Multicolored brochures would only address those learners who learn in the visual mode. Lecture may not meet the needs of the entire group. Games are a useful teaching tool, but not useful when addressing a large group of individuals with varying learning styles.
