Answer 1

The nursing student is utilizing 'eliciting performance' by having participants practice with baby dolls, aligning with Bandura's observational learning theory. The correct multiple-choice option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The nursing student is using the strategy known as eliciting performance (practice by doing), which is one part of promoting effective education. Through this active participation, students practice what they have learned to reinforce their skills and knowledge. This method aligns with Bandura's observational learning theory, which involves four processes: attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. By practicing with baby dolls, the participants can better retain and reproduce the newborn care skills they are learning.

The correct multiple-choice option is (A).
