Simulation Learning System for LPN/LVN, 1st Edition

Key Features

35 simulation scenarios correspond to Elsevier’s market leading texts in each core nursing discipline:

Robust EHR platform (powered by SimChart) houses the skills drills and patient records for simulation.
More than 180 skills drills give students additional opportunities to practice and master core skills prior to simulation. Each drill includes documentation exercises connected with the skill, so they’ll get more experience working within the EHR.
Implementation module for each scenario provides facilitators with a framework to successfully incorporate simulation into their curricula with step-by-step instructions for preparation, implementation, debriefing, and remediation. Each scenario is presented in four sections according to the phases of the simulation experience:

PREPARATION SECTION outlines the scenario overview and purpose, performance objectives for students, significant patient data, and guidelines for preparation and implementation of the scenario. A packet of printable resources to be used prior to and during the simulation scenario includes:

Staging instructions with detailed outlines to guide you through preparing the setting for each scenario
Algorithm quick card featuring a graphically represented protocol with defined guidelines to follow as the student progresses through a simulation scenario
Performance checklist providing the facilitator with a comprehensive and detailed list of expected skills to be performed by the student based on the QSEN competency domains, in a format that allows for evaluation during the scenario
Patient report supplied via script (either instructor-read or student-read) allowing the facilitator to choose how the student will receive patient information prior to simulation and encourages a realistic transfer of patient information for the nurse who will next assume responsibility of care
Patient response guide featuring scripted comments and questions for the facilitator to use on behalf of the patient during the scenario; guides the facilitator in encouraging realistic nurse-patient communication in the simulated experience
Additional participant response guide giving background information for additional roles (e.g.,family member, physician, nurse assistant) along with specific comments and questions that they can use to simulate realistic interactions and prompt nursing action
Participant role badges and patient identity band
Observer evaluation rubric based on the NCLEX-Examination categories of client needs

SCENARIO SECTION describes the physiologic phases for the patient scenario as well as instructions for initiating the simulation experience. It also includes:

Clinical decision support resources (such as Mosby’s Nursing Consult Student Edition) in the EHR that mimic the resources students will use in practice

DEBRIEFING SECTION provides the facilitator with instructions for leading debriefing and well as specific discussion questions and topics. Specifically, it includes:

Debriefing/reflection guide for a structured and successful debriefing session
Guided discussion questions that facilitate collaborative evaluation and analysis of student performance, with corresponding remediation resources from your Elsevier text
Animations, skills videos, and audio clips for reviewing physiologic processes and nursing procedures
Answers and rationales, key points, page references, and reading assignments from the textbook

LEARNING RESOURCES include reading assignments from the text, pre-simulation exercises and quizzes, post-simulation exercises and quizzes, and multimedia resources to reinforce simulation learning and help develop students’ critical reasoning.
