Quickly and easily create clinical reasoning scenarios!

This activity is easy to implement because you already have a patient ready! Because students have been assigned a clinical patient at the hospital or in the lab, they already have a medical history, medications, and an initial diagnosis. You are just adding some abnormal assessment findings to improve their critical thinking 😉

🩺Designed to mirror nursing care at the bedside, students can gather additional assessment data, organize and identify priority problems, and carry out nursing interventions.

✅ Perfect for stable clinical patients or for introducing students to adverse patient outcomes that you may not always see at clinical. Patient complications can be rare on clinical days, but you can help students build the foundational thinking skills to think through abnormal assessment findings.
