Three emergency room nurses are planning community education offerings that will use the American Heart Association's "Heartsaver CPR" training
Which of these would be a disadvantage to using manikin simulation technology for CPR skills practice and testing? 1. More instructors would be needed to oversee the training and testing.
2. Instruction time may be increased for training and testing purposes.
3. Participants may need to perform the skills several times to pass the test.
4. Initial costs for program implementation may be increased.
4
Rationale: Initial costs for implementation of a simulation program would be high. However, in the long run, costs are reduced, as participants may need fewer instructors and less instruction time. Participants may practice under a variety of conditions and contexts to test their skills, which may improve their confidence.
