Analyzing an infographic

Now that you’ve read about what Technical Writing is, it’s time to put those concepts to use by exploring and analyzing an increasingly common form of technical writing: Infographics.

Infographics are visual representations of data, knowledge, or processes designed to make information easily understandable.  

Conduct a Google Image search for infographics related in some way to nursing or healthcare.
