week 7 simulation

Week 7 Assignment: SIM Scenario Paper

· Due Sunday by 11:59pm

· Points 180

· Submitting a text entry box, a website url, a media recording, or a file upload

This week, submit your SIM scenario. 

The purpose of this assignment is to plan and develop a valid 15- to 20-minute simulation scenario based on current evidence and integrating effective teaching strategies based on instructional and learning assessment methodologies. The following criteria must be incorporated into the simulation scenario and are included in the attached template:

· Title

· SIM patient details

· Estimated scenario time

· Estimated debriefing time

· Several paragraphs that summarize the scenario

· Educational rationale

· Learning objectives and the scenario focused objectives

· A list of the standards of nursing care that the simulation focuses on; you can use the NCLEX chart in your text, or national nursing standards such as BSN or MSN essentials. 

· A list needed supplies and equipment

· A description of the environment and the prior learning/skills needed

· A list and description of the number of students involved, their roles, and the instructor role

· A list of the patient's vital signs, cues, prompts, and details of the scenarios

· The expected student interventions and the correct treatment using a SIM progression outline

· Several guiding questions for the student during debrief

The story must be believable and must represent a realistic patient experience. The physiological changes in the patient must be authentic. Nursing interventions must be realistic and within the scope of practice, and represent best practices and standards of care. Family members' reactions and behaviors must be represented in a realistic manner in response to the patient’s condition.

It is highly recommended that you follow the simulation template attached or the outline presented in of the Jeffries textbook. You may use charts, tables, and graphics to convey meaning. This SIM scenario may be used throughout your program and in your practicum and culminating experience change project, if you desire.
