Debriefing

Use the following format to reflect on the Week 3 iHuman Cardiovascular Assessment. This was the Michael Granger case.

• Paragraph One: What went well for you in the simulation? Provide examples of when you felt knowledgeable and confident in your skills. Do you feel the scenario was realistic? Why or why not?
• Paragraph Two: What would you do differently next time if you were caring for a patient similar to Mr. Granger? Describe at least one area you identified where improvements could be made, specific to Mr. Granger’s assessment. Were you surprised by any of the feedback you were provided by iHuman? If yes, please explain.
• Paragraph Three:What did you learn from this simulation that you could apply to nursing practice? Or, what did this simulation reinforce that you found valuable? Do you have any questions related to the scenario?

SOLUTION

I agree that this simulation reinforced the importance of taking a basic history and performing a thorough physical examination throughout order to arrive at the correct diagnosis and treatment. When I assess a cardiac patient, I would like to perform it in a different order- such as using vital signs before I question the patient. With this approach, I’d be likely to be completely aware of any treatments that needed to be met instantly.…..Please click the icon below to access entire solution at $5
