Abstract:
This novel simulation approach incorporates assessment, prioritization, patient care, and clinical reasoning with leadership and ethical principles when teaching disaster preparedness content in a prelicensure BSN curriculum. Using a combination of live actors and simulation equipment, 10 patients arrive in the skills lab seeking help for a variety of illnesses and injuries in the aftermath of a severe storm. The patients' ages and conditions represent each of the clinical courses in the nursing curriculum. Students are assigned to assume the role of nurse, triage nurse, or incident commander and plan, prioritize, and provide patient care.
