Learning With Simulation Chapter 7 Flashcards
(69 cards)
What are the three types of human patient simulators (HPS)?
Low-fidelity, mid-fidelity, and high-fidelity manikins
What determines the complexity and realism of a manikin’s capabilities?
The fidelity of the manikin
List three capabilities of a high-fidelity manikin.
- Can cry
- Can sweat
- Has pupils that react to light
What physiological reactions can a high-fidelity manikin exhibit?
Can physiologically react to medication administration
What is the primary benefit of HPS simulation for students?
Opportunities to apply skills and knowledge based on realistic clinical scenarios
What type of environment does HPS simulation provide for students?
A safe and controlled environment with no threat for patient harm
Name one professional field that can be included in HPS simulation.
Medicine, pharmacy, case management, physical therapy, or nutrition
What is a standardized patient (SP)?
An actor trained to portray a patient in a consistent manner in a specific scenario involving a medical condition or health care situation
SPs can portray real emotions such as anxiety or depression and can cry on demand.
What is the purpose of using standardized patients in simulation?
To provide realistic portrayals of patients for training in medical and healthcare scenarios.
How can organizations acquire standardized patients if they cannot afford to hire them?
By contracting with a drama department, drama club, or seeking volunteers.
What is hybrid simulation?
A simulation that uses a combination of high-fidelity patient simulation (HPS) and standardized patient simulation.
Provide an example of hybrid simulation.
A scenario using a baby manikin as the patient and a standardized patient portraying the parent.
What are part-task trainers (PTT)?
Devices used to teach specific skills or sets of skills related to clinical procedures.
What range of complexity do part-task trainers cover?
From simple items like a piece of fruit to more complex devices like a torso.
What does PTT stand for in the context of simulation?
Patient Teaching Tools
PTTs are utilized to enhance the educational experience in simulations.
What is a characteristic of simulation using a PTT?
Usually does not include patient feedback or debriefing
This limits the interactive learning experience.
How do complex PTTs enhance the learning experience?
By allowing a combination of PTT with a computer-based simulated environment
This increases the fidelity of the simulation.
What are some alternative resources that could be used to incorporate SPs if actors are unavailable?
Senior groups, other learners
These alternatives can help facilitate role-playing in simulations.
How can HPS simulation cases be obtained?
Purchased as pre-programmed scenarios or created by faculty using simulator software
Faculty can also adjust the manikin’s actions during scenarios.
What is a recommended practice when selecting an actor for a standardized patient simulation?
Choose someone that the learner does not know
This enhances the realism and effectiveness of the simulation.
What is a simple way to run scenarios during HPS simulations?
Have a faculty member adjust the actions of the manikin
This allows for real-time adaptation based on participants’ actions.
What is included in a SP simulation case?
The following sections:
* Patient name
* Patient role
* Timing for the simulation encounter
* Setting
* Overview of the scenario
* Instructions or door sign explaining the condition of the patient
* Opening line
* Patient position and attire
* Challenge questions
* Questions that might be asked during the simulation and specific answers
SP stands for Standardized Patient, who is an actor portraying a patient.
What is the purpose of the SP simulation case?
To provide a detailed script for actors portraying patients in a simulation experience
This ensures that the simulation runs smoothly and that all necessary information is conveyed.
What is the significance of triage or initial vital signs in a clinical scenario?
They provide crucial information about the patient’s immediate health status
Vital signs typically include blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, and temperature.
