Results: Sixty-nine screens of storyboard were done and the infographic lasted five minutes and 52 seconds. Forty-five nurses were selected and, of these, 21 agreed to participate in the study. The infographic was evaluated according to its objectives, structure, presentation, and relevance, resulting in an overall CVI of 97%. Conclusion: The animated infographic produced was validated by experts and, once adapted following the judges’ suggestions, it became a valid educational tool to be used by students and nursing professionals.
