Which type of continuing nursing education content is least suited for a VLE alone? 1. A program reviewing assessment of heart and lung sounds
2. A refresher program on various types of injection administration skills
3. A program reviewing drug calculations and dosages for medication administration
4. A program reviewing documentation for an electronic medical record

Rationale: Continuing nursing education using VLE is useful for a variety of subjects. However, content with heavy skill components should be paired with some actual time in a nursing skills laboratory.
