Transcript Welcome to the Simulation Lab Orientation

Welcome to the Simulation Lab
Orientation
What is a simulation laboratory?
The simulation laboratory is an imitation
setting of a clinical environment.
The laboratory is a safe place to practice
real life nursing scenarios.
and…
It is a place to combine theoretical
knowledge and psychomotor skills.
Simulation manikins mimic a patient’s
physiological function. Heart, lung, and
bowel sounds, voice, and anatomy gives
the manikin a realistic quality.
Meet SimMan
His right arm is for an
IV.
His left arm is for a
B/P and pulses.
He can become
SimWoman!
Always speak directly
to the Sim Manikin.
Safety Measures
Please use gloves and
properly dispose of
the sharps.
Supplies
• Medication
• Supplies for
procedures
• Chart for
the patient
• Reference
books
Head Board
• Call light
• Oxygen
• Suction
• Air
The Clinical Scrubs are
required.
Participants should be doing some of
the following during each simulation.
1. Assessments as ordered
2. Procedures as ordered such as V.S.
3. Give medications as ordered such as
injections
4. Start an IV if ordered
5. Use phones if available
4. Educate patient and significant others.
Seeing is believing…..
• In stressful situations it can be
surprising how participants communicate
and act.
• Web cam video taping of the simulation
scenario and reviewing this video is
another tool for learning the art of
nursing.
Required Photo Consent
• Photo Release
• Is the required form when participating in a
video taped simulation scenario.
• Please read carefully before signing.
The simulation scenario begins
with the daily report concerning
your patient and is often given
and received by using an S-BAR
form.
This nation wide form can be
different depending on the
facility and individual unit.
An example of the
SBAR form
During the simulation you will be
asked to volunteer for one of these
roles.
• Student Registered Nurse
• Staff Registered Nurse
• Clinical Instructor
• Significant Other
• Licensed Vocational
Nurse
• Certified Nurse Assistant
• Respiratory Therapist
• Health Care Provider
As an active member of the audience
you will be assigned to monitor one of
the Ten Nursing Threads
• Communication
• Safety
• Nursing Role
• Health Teaching
• Pharmacology
• Lifespan
• Nutrition
• Psychomotor skills
• Cultural Awareness
• Community awareness
The final stage
of the simulation scenario is
called debriefment.
Debriefment can be a video
and/or peer analysis of the simulation
scenario.
Debriefment is the summation of
the events of the scenario.
•
non-judgmental discussion
•
response of clinical events
Debriefing is the summation of
the events of the scenario.
•
Ask yourself:
Are you able to transfer theory to the
simulated patient scenario?
•
Answered this:
Did the participants follow safe practice?
Debriefing is the summation of
the events of the scenario.
• active discussion involves all the
students.
• the performance and Not the student is
critiqued.
Evaluation is important
Simulation Evaluation Example
Was the simulation scenario important to you?
What did you like most?
What did you like least?
What simulation scenarios would you like offered in
the future?
Quiz time…
• Thank you for completing the online
simulation laboratory orientation.
• When you are finished filling out the
questionnaire please print only the
questionnaire and bring it with you on
your first simulation event.
• Name:
N1 N2
N3 N4
• What is a simulation laboratory?
• What makes the simulation manikin life-like?
• Name 3 things a participant may do during a
simulation?
• What is critiqued during the debriefing period of
a simulation scenario?
• Which arm is used for intravenous fluids and
medications?
Thank you
for your participation!
