L.E.A.R.N.S. Model – RNAO

The expert panel for the BPG Facilitating Client Centred Learning (2012) developed the L.E.A.R.N.S. Model, which describes how to support effective learning. LEARNS stands for Listen, Establish, Adopt, Reinforce, Name, Strengthen and refers to the nurse/client interaction.
