The nurse is taking an advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) recertification class. As part of that class, the nurse, and other nurses in the group, rotates responsibilities during multiple mock code exercises simulating cardiac arrest scenarios
The process of assigning nurses to different responsibilities is known as:
a.
concept mapping.
b.
simulation.
c.
role playing.
d.
literature review.
ANS: C
A role-play strategy involves assigning learners to different roles based on expected outcomes in a particular setting. Other learners and facilitators observe the role playing, and then all are involved in the debriefing or discussion of the scenario. As with simulation, this approach allows learners to interact in a safe, controlled environment. The concept map is a way to organize and visualize data to identify relationships and solve problems. Simulated experiences enable the student to apply previously learned content in a safe and realistic environment that allows time for questioning, clarifying, and feedback. Students develop confidence in providing direct nursing care. Because critical thinking cannot occur about subjects that are unknown, a review of literature may foster this type of thinking by addressing knowledge deficits.
