[Possible contributions of acupuncture in the teaching of clinical simulation in nursing]

This study situates the emerging discussion about the possibility of integration of knowledge from acupuncture as a contribution to the pedagogicalpractices of simulated clinical education of undergraduate nursing education. The reflective work emerged as an approach to the dissertation project "Study on the evaluation of trigger learning simulation - Morphofunctional Lab/College of Nursing/Universidade Federal de Pelotas". The integral relationship between man and nature developed in acupuncture emerges as a suggestion of discussions and a potential pedagogical toolfor the clinical simulation in nursing. In this reflection, results prove that there is a need to develop this educational resource aimed at expanding the teaching of clinical simulation in nursing.
