- Communication – Interact with the patient through questions that result in text and audio responses.
- Assessments – Conduct specific physical assessments
- Interventions – Take action with the patient to improve their health status
- Drugs and IV Management – Administer medication according to provider orders
- Tests and Diagnostics – Perform lab or diagnostic tests to support clinical decisions
- Search - Find available interactions to take with the patient
- Electronic Health Record - Reference provider orders and patient information to influence decision making
- Call Provider - Request additional information during the scenario
- Patient Handoff - End the scenario at any time

Unique, Personalised Learning
vSim for Nursing allows each student to have a different experience with the patient. By recording interactions throughout the patient care scenario, the personalised feedback log is generated, customised to the user experience, each time students repeat the scenario, they will receive a personal feedback log outlining their clinical reasoning choices.
