Patient-Centered Care
Nursing students develop clinical reasoning skills by prioritizing and implementing actions within several dimensions, including:
- Safety Measures – Practice safe procedures
- 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
Unique, Personalized Learning
vSim for Nursing allows each student to have a different experience with the patient. By recording interactions throughout the patient care scenario, the personalized feedback log is generated, customized to the user experience, Each time students repeat the scenario, they will receive a personal feedback log outlining their clinical reasoning choices.
•vSim Score – Immediate feedback calculated based on severity of errors
•Main Opportunity for Improvement – Identify key focus areas
