Emergency Room Game: Self-Debriefing Questions

Instructions: In the ER simulation game, you assumed the role of emergency nurse Laila Stein, as she starts her
day shift, assigned to room 1. The following is a series of questions to guide your reflection on your
experience. These questions will help you express your reactions, analyze issues, and reflect on your
performance, while making connections to future clinical practice.

There are 10 questions to be answered. It will take you up to 60 minutes to complete the questions. It is
important to use your simulation summary report during this self-debrief.

1. What were your thoughts and feelings while playing the simulation game?
The game is quite educating and gives a view into similar cases that can occur in the ER

2. Did you play the simulation more than once and, if you did, was it helpful to you? How?
I did not play the simulation more than once

3. How did you feel in the role of the nurse Laila Stein during this simulation?
I felt confident in the role of the nurse Laila Stein during this simulation. To be sincere, I was nervous at
first but after completing the questions at the beginning of the simulation, I felt more confident in
completing the scenarios

4. What were your thoughts about triaging Roman, Abel, and Charlotte? Did anything surprise you?
Triaging Roman, Abel and Charlotte was straightforward. Abel was my priority patient but looking over
and seeing Roman’s vital signs with the deterioration in his condition made him (Roman) the priority.

5. Share what you learned in relation to establishing a therapeutic nurse–client relationship with Roman,
Abel, Charlotte, and their families.
I learned that families of clients are significant in treatment and must be carry them along in the care
of the patient. Also, therapeutic communication is a bed rock for an effective patient assessment and
care.

6. Share what you learned about interprofessional communication within the healthcare team. Did
anything bother you about the interprofessional communication? How should the communication be
improved?
I learned that interprofessional communication within the healthcare team is quite essential. For
instance, in the beginning of the simulation when the previous nurse was giving SBAR reports, he
missed some information which nurse Laila had to ask to get accurate information about the patient
7. Not everyone works their way through this scenario perfectly. What can you take away from the
incorrect decisions/responses you may have made?
I made correct decisions through out the scenario which built my confidence with regards to triage and
what I have being taught both in class and in clinical

8. In summary, the learning objectives of this simulation are to:


 Apply knowledge of physical and psychosocial factors when caring for pediatric and adult
patients and their family members.
 Identify normal findings, abnormal variations, and potential complications of medical and
surgical conditions, such as asthma, fractures, and Crohn’s disease.
 Prioritise care based on clinical assessments and findings.

What were your key learning points related to these learning objectives?
The most importance learning point related to this learning objectives that I learned in the scenario is
triage based on assessment findings and priority nursing intervention.

9. What will you take away from this simulation to incorporate into your clinical practice?
One thing I will take away from this simulation to incorporate in my clinical practice is the vital role
assessment findings and critical thinking plays in healthcare.

10. What questions remain unanswered for you in relation to this emergency simulation scenario?
I have no questions that are unanswered.
