respiratory concept on shadow health for nursing assessment- what is expected answers here. please help!!!
Shadow Health Digital Clinical Environment (DCE) is a high-fidelity virtual patient simulation program that is currently being utilized in over 230 nursing schools (15,000-20,000 students) across the United States. Simulation is defined as “an event or situation made to resemble clinical practice as closely as possible”. Shadow Health DCE is designed to promote undergraduate and graduate student learning through the use of digital standardized patient. The Shadow Health DCE consists of 9 modules; each module is designed around a specific body system. The Shadow Health DCE also offers additional concept labs that are used to examine body systems more in-depth. Concept labs offered through Shadow Health DCE include respiratory, cardiovascular and abdominal. A conversation concept lab is also provided, whereby students can improve interview skills shadowhealth.com, n.d.).
Implementation of Shadow Health DCE
Shadow Health DCE engages students in learning through clinical
simulation, critical thinking, and self-reflection, as students
identify pertinent nursing diagnoses and develop plans of care.
Students learn to improve interview skills, physical assessment
skills, and documentation through experiential simulation.
Immediate feedback of performance is provided to students in the
form of “Pro Tips” (shadowhealth.com, n.d.). “Pro Tips” are
provided to students where opportunities for learning occur such as
“managing acute pain is an immediate high priority, because other
health concerns cannot be effectively addressed while a patient
experiences severe pain” (Shadow Health, n.d.). Faculty can assess
student learning through review of transcripts, module data,
clinical findings, and student self-reflection. Through the
examination of student performance, faculty is enabled to reflect
upon student needs and areas for improvement. For example, if
students show poor performance in diabetes education provided, the
instructor becomes aware of gaps in knowledge.
Use of Simulation in Nursing
Education
Simulation has become an increasingly used pedagogical approach in
nursing education, particularly since 2004 when high-fidelity
manikins were introduced. Benefits of simulation include
improvement of knowledge acquisition, refining both cognitive and
psychomotor skills, bridging a gap between theories and actual
practice and developing communication skills among teams.
“Simulation contributes to improved critical thinking, clinical
reasoning skills and problem solving without fear of causing harm
to actual patients”. Therefore, simulation provides a safe
environment for nursing students to learn new knowledge and
practice skills. Simulation improves clinical thinking skills,
which translates to improved patient safety and quality of care
once students enter the workforce. Furthermore, simulation promotes
active student learning and engagement. Active participation is the
preferred learning method for adult learners. Active learning leads
to higher learning satisfaction.
Respiratory System Assessment
The respiratory system involves more than just the lungs. It
includes respirations, oxygenation, and interactions with the
cardiac system. Respiratory assessment also includes the
assessmentand identification of risk factors for disease. The
respiratory system includes the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles,
lungs, and diaphragm.
This topic addresses the following competency:
The graduate analyzes the findings of basic physical assessments of the respiratory system.
This topic addresses the following learning objectives:
Conclusions
Shadow Health DCE utilizes a virtual patient, Tina, to teach
physical assessment, conduct a health history, communication
skills, health promotion and education, and documentation skills to
nursing students. Shadow Health DCE provides an opportunity for
learning best clinical practices in a safe environment. An
experienced nurse is likely to conduct a health history and perform
physical assessment based one’s established preference and
intuition. BS-MS enter a Master’s of Nursing program with a high
level of confidence. Shadow Health DCE meets the AACN standards of
the 3 Ps in providing advanced learning in physical assessment to
the MS nursing student cohort. However, based on a small sample
surveyed in this project, BS-MS students did not feel that Shadow
Health DCE was a valuable learning tool and that level of
confidence in performing physical assessment actually decreased.
Based on this information, MS faculty may wish to re-design and/or
implement required coursework in order to prepare student to learn
in the Shadow Health DCE environment, and ultimately, be prepared
for roles as graduate level nurses.
