Clinical Simulation
Oral Medication Administrations
About This Course
What you'll experience
Not everything about nursing involves needles and tubes. There are some soft skills too that nurses need to be well-versed in to provide care and treatment to patients. One such soft skill is to converse with efficiency. Nurses must be able to convey information and at the same time, understand patient concerns too.
Learning Objectives
- Learners will be able to explain the side effects of medication.
- Discuss strategies to minimize medication side effects.
- Inform patient on serious side effects and when to seek medical attention.
- Evaluate the patient’s knowledge of the information given.

Core Skill
Patient Conversation
As part of this VR solution users practice conversation skills with a virtual patient. Learners learn to convey information effectively, understand the patient’s concerns, work towards putting to rest patient’s worries, provide information regarding the medicine and tips on how to take medicines so as to minimize side-effect related discomfort. Nurses also educate this virtual patient on steps to take in case of side-effects.
