The patient is 65 years old and has been admitted to hospital after having a fall at home. You will hear a handover report from the night nurse and then proceed to begin your shift caring for the patient.
Learning Objectives:
identify environmental challenges to effective communication;
utilize strategies to effectively communicate with the geriatric population experiencing a different sense of hearing; and,
identify adaptive communication strategies to address age-related hearing changes when communicating with the geriatric population.
Simulation Modality:
Virtual gaming simulation / virtual patientEvalution/Validation:
This simulation’s scenario and script were formally peer-reviewed by two external institutions, then the final simulation was pilot tested by several students on a student testing committee then as part of the Virtu-WIL Student Program’s rollout.
