Designed for the Simulation Laboratory Kim K. Oelke APN, FNP-C NURSING SKILLS COURSE
2
Discuss advantages and disadvantages of utilizing the nursing skills laboratory for basic and advanced skills instruction Describe the components of the skills course Identify three teaching methods that can be employed using this course Describe use of the course as an adjunct to a Medical/Surgical Nursing course, as skills units, or as individual skills to be practiced prior to clinical assignments OUTCOMES
3
SIMULATION LABORATORIES
4
“Safe” environment Immediate detailed feedback and debriefing Increase student confidence Practice skills Introduce challenges ADVANTAGES OF USING A SKILLS LABORATORY
5
Self-paced learning Remediation Applies theory to practice ADVANTAGES CONTINUED
6
Interpersonal interactions Professional judgement Clinical environment Skills loss Misdirected focus Cost DISADVANTAGES OF USING A SKILLS LABORATORY
7
MINIMIZE THE DISADVANTAGES MAXIMIZE THE ADVANTAGES
8
School Attract students Decrease liability Clinical settings Students with required skills Less dependence on staff nurses Safer care of patients Students Supervised learning in “safe” environment Practice Resources NLN SIRC SSH experts Other programs MAXIMIZE
9
Role playing Interpersonal interactions Professional judgement Adjunct to clinical experiences Interpersonal interactions Professional judgement Redirect focus - skill as part of total patient care Costs Funding opportunities Shared facilities and equipment MINIMIZE

SYLLABUS SKILLS OUTLINE CASE SCENARIOS CLINICAL CHECKLISTS COURSE COMPONENTS
11
Course Description: Clinical course for nursing simulation lab Incorporates basic med/surg nursing skills use of resources critical thinking skills cooperation skills patient education Active student participation required. SYLLABUS
12
Upon completion of each system unit, the student will be able to: Identify skills for specific systems Discuss patient education points Assemble equipment needed Identify patients Obtain informed consent Perform procedure or skill. Discuss nursing measures patient safety comfort privacy Demonstrate correct documentation SYLLABUS: COURSE OUTCOMES
13
Content Outline: Skills and procedures Patient education reason for procedure prep for procedure expected experience risks and side effects expected follow-up Informed consent Documentation of nursing education Documentation of procedure SYLLABUS: CONTENT OUTLINE
14
Case scenarios for role playing Work in pairs Work in small groups SYLLABUS: LEARNING ACTIVITIES
15
Group discussions Positive feedback Constructive criticism Instructor evaluation Group debriefing One to one discussion Case scenarios Video-taped performance Graded performance SYLLABUS: STUDENT EVALUATION
16
Skills organized by body systems Respiratory Cardiovascular Gastrointestinal Genitourinary Integumentary Musculoskeletal Nervous Skills outlined in steps Patient education Equipment/supplies Patient identification Technique Documentation SKILLS OUTLINE
17
Skills - examples Tracheostomy care Chest tube Insertion Routine care Discontinuation Outline format Information and patient education Assembling equipment/supplies Identification of patient Performing procedure Documentation of education, procedure, and patient status CASE CHECKLISTS
18
Case Checklist 2.2 IV catheter site care 2.2.1 Describes the education provided to the patient Introduces self Explains purpose of procedure Explains procedure Describes expected results 2.2.2 Assembles all necessary equipment and supplies Tape Occlusive clear dressing if not changed in past 72 hours Alcohol prep pads 2.2.3 Identifies patient using 2 identifiers Wrist band Verifies name and date of birth 2.2.4 Performs catheter site care Performs hand hygiene Raises bed to working position and lowers side rail Dons non-sterile gloves Assesses site for possible infection or infiltration Removes and replaces any soiled tape and/or dressing Records date and time on new dressing If catheter has been in place 72 hours, removes dressing and catheter Holds pressure until bleeding stops Restarts IV in another site Returns bed to control position and raises side rail Removes and disposes of used equipment and gloves Assesses patient and provides comfort measures as needed 2.2.5 Documents patient teaching and performance of procedure States education provided and who was educated Records the patient identifiers used Briefly describes the procedure, the outcomes, and patient comfort provided Education - ____ /4 Organization - ____ /3 Identification - ____ /2 Skill performance - ____ /12 Documentation - ____ /3 Total score - ____ /24
19
Multiple scenarios for each skill Simple to complex Incorporate clinical knowledge and professional judgement Multisystem scenarios available to reflect reality CASE SCENARIOS

MVA patient Coma Respirator Chest tube Thomas splint Vasopressors Antibiotics Skills Oral care Neurological checks Suction ET tube Bed bath /skin assessment Chest tube care Issues Organization Complications Assistance example MULTISYSTEM CASE SCENARIO
23
FOR USE WITH THE SIMULATION COURSE CASE SCENARIO METHOD
24
Scenario provided Decisions made by student Skill demonstrated Instructor provides immediate or delayed feedback Scenario may change Instructor may record session for review and feedback INSTRUCTOR SINGLE STUDENT
25
Instructor assigns student roles Scenario provided Decisions made with group input Skill demonstrated Students and instructor provide feedback Students rotate performing skill INSTRUCTOR GROUP OF STUDENTS
26
One student performs the skill One student may assist Another student completes the checklist Other students provide feedback Students rotate positions STUDENTS SMALL GROUP SETTINGS
27
Student follows checklist to complete the skill Student may record session for review and feedback from other students or the instructor STUDENTS ALONE
