Book Description

These learner paced, interactive virtual branching case studies aim to help learners develop their noticing and clinical judgment skills. Each case study is designed to work with a specific level of learner (novice-advanced) and uses a variety of resources to help learners prepare for the experience and reflect on their actions after. To help with this reflection, there is a Learning outcomes rubric provided for learners to identify their strengths and areas to work on and other self-reflection activities. Concepts of patient-centered care, communication, safety and health and illness are used to demonstrate how care is provided in a variety of health care settings across the lifespan (community and acute care). Case studies have been developed based on the CASN Top 10 Adult Nursing Situations for High Fidelity Simulation (2019) and include: 
  1. An older adult in a community setting living with a chronic perfusion illness
  2. An older adult in medical acute care experiencing electrolyte imbalance
  3. A young adult in the community experiencing altered mood and substance use problems
  4. A deteriorating adult in surgical acute care
Following the experience, facilitators have the option of leading a debrief, on one or all case studies, and can use the reflection questions provided to stimulate dialogue.  As lifelong learners, learners are encouraged to utilize these case studies as many times as they would like and can use the resources contained within to support their learning.
