The students have all completed a learning style inventory in which three of the students are determined visual learners, four are kinesthetic learners, and the rest are auditory learners.

Note: The intended audience for the course can be either newly graduated nurses or experienced staff nurses as you choose.

2. Descriptions  of the learning activities and the rationale for the learning activities  selected
