Introduction
SIMULATION TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATION AND DIAGNOSTIC REASONING IN NURSE PRACTITIONER STUDENTS
Background
Mock Page exercises provide real time practice in delivering content to providers and have been used in medical education for many years.1 Goal: provide professional growth to our pre-licensure students while simultaneously challenging our ACNPs to respond to limited information given each page.
Methods
- Pre-licensure students had two roles for
each of the five mock pages:
- Initiate the page and deliver
patient information in script
- Provide immediate feedback to
the ACNP student using rubric.
- ACNP students received the
page then detailed the problems that needed to be articulated in plan of care.
- ACNP students provided feedback
about the communication
Results
Each page lasted about 15 minutes, followed by an additional 5 minutes for pre-licensure students to provide feedback. Classroom debriefing took about 30 minutes Use of pre-established scenarios, scripts, and rubrics contributed to consistent training, delivery and debriefing of this exercise. Additional materials to teach closed loop communication and rehearse simulations were helpful to streamline course faculty effort. The addition of using the final page with faculty monitoring the conversation over a speaker phone provided summative evaluation.
Conclusion/Discussion Mock Page Simulation used established scenarios and rubrics to deliver a message
conditions & communicate a management plan.
Pre-licensure students reported increased confidence in communication ACNP students consistently rated this as a valuable simulation in course evaluations. Future iterations ACNP students will arrive at the “bedside” to provide definitive care for manikins with life-threatening changes in condition.
