Which educational approach best supports timely MDRO updates beyond unit in-services?

• A. Long, in-depth university courses
• B. Short video clips paired with unit-based in-service training
• C. Annual mandatory seminars only
• D. Printed manuals mailed quarterly

Answer: (B)

Keeping staff up to date on MDRO practices works best when updates come just in time and are easy to apply in daily work. Short video clips paired with unit-based in-service training deliver current guidance in a concise, practical format, show correct techniques, and can be immediately reinforced during the actual duties on the unit. This aligns with adult learning needs—time-efficient, relevant, and easily revisited within the workflow—so new information sticks and changes are quickly adopted. Longer university courses can be too time-consuming, annual seminars may miss timely updates, and printed manuals mailed quarterly can become outdated or hard to access at the point of care, making them less effective for rapid, ongoing MDRO education.
