CHSE Healthcare and Simulation Knowledge 4

Question 1

In the context of simulation fidelity, 'psychological fidelity' refers to:

Accepted Answer

The degree to which the simulation replicates real-world cognitive and emotional demands

Answer

The realism of manikin skin texture and appearance

Answer

The accuracy of vital sign monitors in the sim lab

Answer

The physical layout matching a real hospital room

Question 2

A simulation educator notices learners consistently fail to recognize early sepsis cues during a scenario. The BEST next step is to:

Accepted Answer

Redesign the scenario cues and provide targeted pre-work on sepsis recognition

Answer

Replace the manikin with a higher-fidelity model

Answer

Extend the scenario runtime by 30 minutes

Answer

Reduce the number of learners per group

Question 3

Which model is MOST commonly used to frame structured debriefing in healthcare simulation?

Accepted Answer

The GAS model (Gather, Analyze, Summarize)

Answer

Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle

Answer

Pendleton's Rules

Answer

Dreyfus Skill Acquisition Model

Question 4

In simulation program management, 'scenario versioning' is important primarily because:

Accepted Answer

It ensures reproducibility, tracks curriculum changes, and supports quality improvement

Answer

It allows facilitators to charge different fees per scenario

Answer

It prevents learners from accessing scenario content before the session

Answer

It automates manikin programming for each run

Question 5

Which approach BEST supports transfer of simulation learning to clinical practice?

Accepted Answer

Designing scenarios with high contextual fidelity and immediate debriefing

Answer

Using only part-task trainers to maximize repetition

Answer

Conducting all simulations in an offsite facility

Answer

Limiting simulation to once per year per learner

Question 6

A standardized patient (SP) program coordinator notices that SPs are providing inconsistent feedback to learners. The MOST effective corrective action is:

Accepted Answer

Implementing standardized SP training with calibration sessions and feedback rubrics

Answer

Replacing all SPs with high-fidelity manikins

Answer

Restricting SP interactions to history-taking only

Answer

Having the simulation educator provide all learner feedback instead

Question 7

The INACSL Standards of Best Practice define 'simulation-enhanced interprofessional education (Sim-IPE)' as simulation designed to:

Accepted Answer

Engage learners from two or more professions in learning about, from, and with each other

Answer

Train one professional group to perform tasks of another profession

Answer

Replace clinical rotations for nursing students

Answer

Assess credentialing competencies across disciplines
