ANS: A
Kinesthetic learners learn best while they are moving and participating in hands-on activities. Demonstrations and role playing work well with these learners. Patients who are visual learners learn best when you use pictures and diagrams to explain information. Patients who prefer auditory learning are distracted by pictures and prefer listening to information (e.g., podcasts). Patients who learn best by reasoning logically and intuitively learn better if presented with a case study that requires careful analysis and discussion with others to arrive at conclusions.
