High-Fidelity Patient Simulation on Clinical Reasoning Skills and Interprofessional Competencies

"Phase 1 (Pre-Brief): Nursing and physical therapy students will have 10 minutes to gather as a group and prepare for the simulation experience.~The students will work together to review the simulated patient's medical chart, which includes a hand off report, physician orders, patient demographic data, disci-pline-specific progress notes, a physical therapy evaluation, and information from lab results posted on a tri-fold board.~Phase 2 (Simulation): After reviewing the chart and establishing a plan as a group for getting the simulated patient out of bed, the interprofessional team of nursing and physical therapy students will enter the simulated hospital room. The goal for the approximately 20-minute encounter is for the interprofessional group to help the simulated patient to get out of bed while closely monitoring the physiological responses to activity.~Phase 3: The simulation will conclude with a 30-minute faculty guided and structured debriefing session."
