Recognizing cues is the first component of the clinical judgment measurement model. Failure to timely recognize physiological changes, escalate concerns, and respond to clinical deterioration results in poor health outcomes. With the current nursing shortage and implementation of student nurse apprenticeships, it is especially important that nursing programs integrate lessons on cue recognition and clinical deterioration. Low-fidelity simulations were implemented for first-semester and third-semester students in an associate degree of nursing (ADN) program; qualitative and quantitative data showed increase in confidence and clinical judgment.
Learning Objectives:
Equip nursing educators with the necessary knowledge and tools to integrate a cue recognition module into the nursing curriculum, emphasizing vital signs, physical assessment changes, and verbal/nonverbal cues.
Empower nursing educators to implement and enhance simulation-based education (SBE) experiences for undergraduate nursing students, focusing on cue recognition, MEWS utilization, and patient deterioration analysis.
Prepare nurse educators to facilitate discussions on applying clinical judgment to guide decision-making following low-fidelity simulation experiences.
