Neurological Assessment
About This Course
What you'll experience
This is Mike, a 42-year-old corporate executive who is having an outpatient surgery procedure. Prior to the procedure the outpatient surgery nurse must perform a neurological assessment. The procedure, in itself, is a fairly simple one but requires adequate training, experience, and a keen eye for detail which comes from thorough practice. MedVR Education’s VR simulations are designed to help learners practice and polish their skills to perform the procedure with expertise. This multiplayer VR simulation is equipped with voice-chat facility, enabling learners from different locations to converge and converse in a common virtual space. They get to work together and share experiences and knowledge.
Learning Objectives
- Perform Glascow Coma Score assessment
- Perform pupil and eye movement assessment

Core Skills Training
Core Skill
Consciousness and Motor Function
A patient’s level of consciousness is assessed using the Glasgow Coma Scale. But before the procedure in initiated, required material needs to be gathered and the identity of the patient established. All required affordances are made available for a smooth execution of the procedure. A predefined step-by-step assessment process is carried out, assessing the patient on eye movement, motor functions, and body reflexes. The program includes constant guidance in the training session, helping learners at every step of the process and encouraging the completion of the entire procedure.
