Cellulitis & Acute Kidney Injury
In this medical-surgical scenario, learners recognize and respond to the development of an acute kidney injury. Learners are exposed to a patient who may not be cooperative with the plan of care requiring use of skillful therapeutic communication.
Learning Objectives
1. Conduct a physical assessment of a patient with cellulitis 2. Identify normal and abnormal assessment findings 3. Prioritize nursing interventions based on the patient's condition 4. Provide therapeutic communication, support, and education to the patient and caregiver 5. Communicate the patient’s condition to the interprofessional healthcare team in a clear, concise and structured format

"It builds their confidence when they go into the clinical realm to say, ‘OK, so this is what I learned in simulation, now I can see how I would use that.'"
"I created a whole scenario in less than an hour and a half with the UbiSim Editor - I had labs, X-rays, EKGs... and I still have a flip phone. But it was so easy!"
“There are 16 state competencies and we’re able to map some of them to virtual reality. For example, we built a scenario for hyperglycemia and blood glucose monitoring."
