The LEARN Model implements active listening to both the client's verbal and non-verbal communication as a means of obtaining insight into the client's perspective of their medical problem. This model also encourages the nurse to recognize that the perceptions may differ and to explain the differences in perceptions to the client. The model advocates arriving at a mutually agreed upon treatment plan rather than encouraging the client to surrender personal autonomy in the decision-making.
