Simulation Scenarios for Nursing Educators

Simulation Scenarios for Nursing Educators

'p'When employed as a substitute for real clinical time, simulation scenarios have proven effective in bridging the gap between theory and practice. This acclaimed text for nursing faculty provides detailed, step-by-step guidance on all aspects of clinical simulation. Appropriate for all levels of nursing students, from pre-licensure to doctoral level, the book contains the authors’ own advice and experiences working in simulation around the globe.'/p''p'For the third edition, 20 new scenarios have been added, for a total of 57. All scenarios have been updated to adhere to best-practice simulation standards for design, facilitator and participant criteria, interprofessional criteria, and debriefing processes. Scenarios are presented in a structured format that includes objectives, pre-scenario checklists, implementation plans, evaluation criteria, debriefing guidelines, and recommendations for further use. A template for creating scenarios spans the text and includes student preparation materials, forms to enhance the realness of the scenario, and checklists for practice assessment and evaluation.'/p''p'This comprehensive resource covers geriatric, pediatric, trauma, obstetric, and community-based patient scenarios. This revised edition includes scenarios easily adaptable to an instructor’s own lab, an international perspective, and a section on graduate nursing education.'/p''p''b'New to the Third Edition:'/b''/p''ul''li'20 brand new scenarios in anesthesia, midwifery, pediatric, disaster, and other specialty-focused situations, plus five new chapters'/li''li'Updated to encompass new simulation pedagogy including best-practice standards'/li''li'New scenarios easily adapted to an instructor’s own lab'/li''li'Interprofessional and international scenarios focused on areas of global concern: obstetric hemorrhage, neonatal hypoglycemia, and deteriorating patients'/li''/ul''p''b'Key Features:'/b''/p''ul''li'Includes information on how to integrate simulation into curricula'/li''li'Addresses conceptual and theoretical foundations of simulation in nursing education, including an expanded chapter on the Framework for Simulation Learning in Nursing Education'/li''li'Includes a wide variety of practical scenarios in ready-to-use format with instructions'/li''li'Provides a template for scenario development'/li''li'Delivers recommendations for integration of point-of-care decision-making tools'/li''li'Offers opportunities for enhancing complexity and incorporating interprofessional competencies'/li''/ul'
