Objective:
To evaluate the satisfaction and self-confidence of undergraduate nursing students' learning in a scenario of realistic clinical simulation with the theme of advanced cardiopulmonary arrest maneuvers.
Method:
Exploratory-descriptive study, with a quantitative approach. In order to evaluate the simulation activity developed undergraduate nursing students responded to the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence with Learning Scale.
Results:
19 students participated in the study. Students' satisfaction and self-confidence with learning were identified, with an average of 4.17 ± 0.59 in the developed scenario. In the subscale of satisfaction with current learning and in the subscale of self-confidence with learning, 86.3% and 76.6% of students scored the items in a maximum way (4-5), respectively.
Conclusion:
Nursing students demonstrate satisfaction and self-confidence with learning from a realistic clinical simulation scenario on the theme of advanced cardiorespiratory arrest maneuvers.

Assessment of Respiration
Subjective Assessment: Nurses interview the patient to gather information directly during the subjective assessment. It includes questions about the individual's medical history, medications, and symptoms, focusing on past respiratory conditions like...
Assessment of Ventilation I: Respiratory Rate
A Ventilation assessment is critical for monitoring a patient's health status. Respiration, one of the most accessible vital signs, provides insights into the function of numerous body systems and can indicate serious health issues, such as brainstem injuries from head trauma.
Critical Guidelines for Assessing Ventilation:
Assessment of Ventilation II: Respiratory Depth and Rhythm
Respiratory depth measures the volume of air inhaled or exhaled during a breath. It can vary from shallow to deep and typically remains consistent when a person is at rest or asleep. Occasionally, individuals will automatically inhale deeply, known as sighing, which inflates the lungs with more air than normal breathing.
To assess respiratory depth, observe the degree of chest excursion or movement:

Respiratory Assessment: Purpose and Indications
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...
