Simulation Learning Objectives 1. Communication with family (therapeutic, client based) 2. Professional communication amongst the team 3. Recognition of the abnormality (skill set of assessment, critical thinking, who to call, when to call) 4. Seeking appropriate guidance in a timely manner 5. 6. 7.

Timing (approximate) Scenario Progression Outline Manikin Actions Expected Interventions May Use the Following Cues 0-8 minutes SIM infant will be breathing; respiratory rate of 40; heart rate of approximately 130 Introduce self, contract (permission to touch, identifying what will happen), take vital signs, head to toe assessment key indicators inspection/oscilltation of chest Student 1 Cue: N/A 0-8 minutes SIM infant will be breathing; respiratory rate of 40; heart rate of approximately 130 8 Minutes Stops breathing for 30 seconds; being breathing again after 30 9 minutes (if not caught) If caught the first time at 9 minutes 10-15 minutes Breathing Continue to breathe at regular rate Introduce self, contract; gathering history Nurse 1 or 2 observes event, times it, records it, reports it If event not observed, parent will react Nurse 1 or 2 respond to cue and time apnea and report, put O2 on, record, call for help (delegate) Call medical response team (MRT) Nurse 1 gives SBAR report to team while still in team Nurse 2 observes baby Documentation Physician can begin assessment Speak to parents Student 2 Cue: N/A Cue: Father Cue: there it goes again, that s the second time if missed the first time Cue: Cue:
Debriefing / Guided Reflection Questions for This Simulation (Remember to identify important concepts or curricular threads that are specific to your program) 1. How did you feel throughout the simulation experience? 2. Describe the objectives you were able to achieve? 3. Which ones were you unable to achieve (if any)? 4. Did you have the knowledge and skills to meet objectives? 5. Were you satisfied with your ability to work through the simulation? 6. To Observer: Could the nurses have handled any aspects of the simulation differently? 7. If you were able to do this again, how could you have handled the situation differently? 8. What did the group do well? 9. What did the team feel was the primary nursing diagnosis? 10. What were the key assessments and interventions? 11. Is there anything else you would like to discuss?
