• The problem [scenario] is presented to the student – in the study guide, these are referred to as Activities.
• Students [or participants] get involved and actively participate to solve the presented problem – and present or explain their solution/answer to the problem/question.
• As aforementioned, students will obtain advanced Nursing Management skills by participating in critical engagement in respect of international viewpoints of Nursing Management.
