Introduction
Modern knowledge in nursing requires a holistic approach which equips students with
skills of problem-solving and quality services in healthcare (Sinclair et al., 2016, 169). Geriatric
nursing is a specialty filed which requires competency and other recommended approaches for
promotion of quality nursing as well as required policies for advanced nurse practice. The
following is an analysis of the attributes which the learners need to embrace and quality which is
recommended for the accomplishment of quality and better practices as recommended.
Attributes of the 21st Century Learner
Learners are required to embrace specific attributes for them to be successful in the 21st-
century society (McGaghie 2015, p. 1438-1441). The attributes of 21st-century learners include
creativity and innovation. Innovation and creativity are vital skills that learners are required to
possess for successfully professionally. Besides, innovation and creativity prepare the learners
for challenges experienced at work and society (Smith et al., 2014, p.79) Problems encountered
during the 21st century require creative solutions and the ability to come up with new ideas.
Another attribute of 21st-century learners is communication and collaboration. Learners
are required to accommodate others despite their differences and work as a team, which is
essential for success (Clanchy et al., 2019, p.45). The learners through collaboration can innovate
new ideas and work as a team addressing problems. Moreover, learners are required to possess
effective communication skills, including listening and the ability to present their ideas via non-
verbal, written, and oral strategies.
Problem-solving and critical thinking is also an attribute of a 21st-century learner.
Students are required to think critically in various situations. The learner has the capability to
derive conclusions, understand information, and reflect critically on education processes and

experiences (DeWaay et al., 2016, p. 77-83). Furthermore, 21st-century learners are global
citizens. Learners are required to be global citizens because of the globalization of the world’s
economy. Students are required to understand various lifestyles and cultures in the world.
Technology literacy is another attribute of 21st-century learners. Digital media and
technology have improved modern life, including how people socialize, work, and learn.
Contemporary learners are digital students and can access a large range of information
effectively via their smartphones, the internet, and other forms of technology (Mehl et al., 2016,
p. 233-239). In addition, 21st-century learners are lifelong learners which enables them to cope
with changes in the current society.
How Health Education has adopted Learning Strategies and Appropriate
Feedback/Assessment
Health education has adopted the principles of 21st-century learning in various.
Moreover, healthcare providers employ contemporary learning strategies when delivering
healthcare education (Clanchy et al., 2019, p.49). To illustrate this, healthcare education employs
the use of audio-visual aids. Healthcare providers and patient educators use AV aids to
supplement learning among patients. The AV aids assist in communication, sustains the patient
interest as well as providing a reference for the absorption of more details. The AV includes
powerpoint presentation, videos, and flip charts. Additionally, handouts are also used.
Besides, healthcare education adopts the use of interactive presentation. Healthcare
providers plan and use interactive presentation with patients through case studies and group
learning (DeWaay et al., 2016, p. 77-83). The health care providers inform patients of the
objectives of the education and design questions that will promote the patients’ participation.

Additionally, the care providers share their experiences and, interact with the learners and
communicate in a manner that is easily interpreted.
In addition, healthcare providers adopt the use of group learning when delivering
healthcare education. Patients may be categorized into several groups, during which they receive
health education (Mehl et al., 2016, p. 233-239). Healthcare education also entails the use of
reading and understanding. Patients are provided with instructions and other health information
to read and understand with the aim of improving healthcare delivery.
Moreover, healthcare education employs the use of the 4C of 21st-century skills. The 4cs
include communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. Patient educators and
other healthcare providers communicate with patients during the delivery of health education
through the sharing of ideas, thought, and other aspects relating to healthcare (Sinclair et al.,
2016, p. 169). In addition, collaboration is employed whereby patients are educated in groups
and share their experiences with each other. Furthermore, the healthcare provider adopts the use
of creativity to improve the delivery of healthcare education. For instance, they use technological
means of educating patients.
Additionally, healthcare education adopted technology literacy. Healthcare facilities use
information systems such EHRs, EMRS, patient portals as well as clinical decision support
which encourage interaction between the healthcare providers and patients (Rogers et al., 2019,
p. 73-94). For instance, patients can access the EHRs and access relevant information about their
health and treatment plan as designed by the healthcare providers.
Moreover, health education has been standardized such that quality and comprehensive
approaches can be applied in the promotion of health education (DeWaay et al., 2016, p. 77-83).
Based on the nurse educational needs of 21st century, healthcare has adopted a number of
