This document represents a completed V-Sim for Carla Hernandez, a core case study within the NURS 420 Care of Childrearing Family course at Felician University. It’s a record of a student’s simulation experience, detailing actions taken in a virtual maternity scenario involving a patient presenting with potential complications during labor.
This assignment is intended for students enrolled in NURS 420 to demonstrate their clinical decision-making, documentation, and communication skills in a high-fidelity simulation environment. It’s used to assess a student’s ability to recognize and respond to critical events during labor and delivery, specifically umbilical cord prolapse.
This completed V-Sim does *not* serve as a teaching tool or a substitute for independent learning of maternity nursing concepts. It showcases one student’s approach and may not represent all possible or optimal responses. It also doesn’t include the underlying learning modules or preparatory materials for the simulation.
The full document provides detailed records of: initial patient assessment data (vital signs, fetal heart rate activity), medication administration (Terbutaline, Lactated Ringer’s), SBAR communication with the provider, a timeline of interventions related to the umbilical cord prolapse, and ongoing fetal heart rate monitoring. It *does not* include the simulation instructions, grading rubric, or reflective components of the assignment.
