The learner must have opportunities to practice the new skills being learned.Provide practice sessions during the program because many people may not have the time,facilities,motivation,and/or support to practice at home what they have learned.Because breast self-examination is a psychomotor skill,the emphasis should be placed on the learner having the ability to perform the skill after the conference.The most important aspect should be the time for practice in this situation,and not on the time for questions.The nurse would not need to explain to the audience why culturally appropriate images are acceptable,rather these should have been incorporated into the session.Having printed materials is important so that the learner has a reference after leaving the conference.
