for learners to learn a specific psychomotor skill.

It also aims to promote safe, knowledgeable and

effective nursing care by demonstrating and reinforcing the highest level of performance and

readiness.

rules such as:-

*No eating or drinking in the lab*No smoking is allowed in the lab.

*Chairs should be replaced under the tables when leaving the area.

*Pick up any waste materials observed on the floor and place in trash containers.

*Return media to proper storage area or to lab personnel after viewing.
