Synopsis

Praise for the First Edition:

“The authors of this review manual have captured all of the elements of simulation from establishing the objectives of simulated learning experiences, to constructing scenarios, to debriefing students and the simulation team, to assessing and evaluating the learning that has accrued. They have also described the range of simulation options and the contexts for their most effective use.”

--Gloria F. Donnelly, PhD, RN, FAAN, FCPP, Dean and Professor

College of Nursing and Health Professions, Drexel University

This is the first practice manual to help health care simulation educators in the U.S. and internationally to prepare for the certification exam in this burgeoning field. The second edition is revised to reflect the latest test blueprint and encompass key evidence-based research that has been conducted since the first edition was published. Authored by noted experts in simulation and education who have carefully analyzed the test blueprint, the book distills the information most likely to be included on the exam.
