New virtual simulation activities - Patient with Heart Failure on a Ventilator and Patient with Chronic Angina

The Open RN team has quickly created 2 new H5P branching scenarios that can be used as "virtual simulation" by instructors trying to find  online learning activities to substitute for clinical.

In addition to assigning these as independent learning activities, instructors could also potentially add additional group discussion questions regarding: focused assessments, setting goals and outcome criteria, prioritization of interventions, and evaluation.  Suggested discussion questions are included in the teaching plans below.

Scenario overviews and associated teaching plans:

1. Patient with heart failure on a ventilator: https://h5p.org/node/771207

• Teaching Plan
• Overview:   Hector Fernandez is a 62-year-old male patient with a history of heart failure who was brought to the Emergency Department via EMS. He subsequently arrested, was resuscitated, and is now on a mechanical ventilator.
• Learning Objectives

• Incorporate evidence-based practice while caring for a patient with heart failure
• Monitor and care for a patient on a ventilator
• Participate in multidisciplinary communication while providing effective health care

2. Clinic walk-in with chronic angina: https://h5p.org/node/766709

• Teaching Plan
• Overview:  Michael Milbourn is a 69 year old male patient who was previously diagnosed with chronic stable angina.  Today, he walks into the family practice clinic where he usually receives care and asks to speak to a nurse.
• Learning Objective: Apply knowledge of cardiovascular medication to a male patient with a history of chronic stable angina
