“Effective Learning Objectives for Nursing Education: Examples for Classroom, Laboratory, and Clinical Settings”

Each post must be your new work.  While your initial response to the discussion questions should be concise (no more than 300 words), written with accepted conventions of standard American English, and use of a minimum of two in-text citations and references in APA 7th edition format, follow-up postings may be more informal and relaxed.  However, please grammar and spell-check all postings.  You must have an original and a responsive posts to two (2) students in order to get credit for your discussion.
Learning objectives are important to illustrate what an expected students learning will be. Learning objectives are further solidified when they are clearly communicated to avoid misinterpretation (McDonald, 2018). Stated instructional objectives better promote learning experiences to attainment of the objectives (Orr et.al,2022). Here are 3 learning objective examples that focus on classroom, laboratory, and clinical.  
Classroom: The student nurse learner will examine and distinguish signs and symptoms of hypo/hyperglycemia. 
Laboratory: The student nurse learner will ensure accuracy in data collection for correct evaluation results. 
Clinical: After completing this course, the student learner will learn how to promote patient safety by following strict protocols for blood draw specimen collection and handling.
