Learning Objective 1: discuss various aspects of simulation necessary for best practice.
Learning Objective 2: verbalize various methods for obtaining information to develop simulation scenarios.
This presentation will briefly review Jeffries’ Simulation Model (2005), focusing on the simulation experience. Outcome objectives for the simulations can be derived from course objectives or competencies. A template for writing scenarios helps faculty from several disciplines and programs coordinate scaffolding of simulation scenarios. Proceeding from general to more specific prompts will assist novice nursing students to focus their assessment and care. Simulation scenarios can be written from a variety of sources. Many medical-surgical and other nursing textbooks have critical thinking materials that accompany the textbooks. Within these materials are gems of information related to care of patients with specific disease processes and often a case scenario to highlight important aspects of care. Another source for simulation scenarios are “Action Stat” features in general nursing journals, such as the American Journal of Nursing, and Nursing 2009. Articles depicting how nursing programs are instituting simulations within the student experience also contain scenario starters. As writing the scenario progresses, information on current evidence-based practice can be obtained from journal database searches, especially the Cochrane Database with its research reviews and meta analyses. The writer will also need to determine what skills, actions are essential for patient care to determine if the student is proceeding through the scenario satisfactorily.
