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

Psychological fidelity captures the emotional, cognitive, and contextual realism that makes learners feel they are in an authentic clinical situation.

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

Persistent performance gaps indicate a curriculum gap; the educator should revise cue design and add foundational preparation to address the specific knowledge deficit.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

The GAS model (Gather, Analyze, Summarize)

Answer

The GAS model (Gather, Analyze, Summarize) is a widely adopted healthcare simulation debriefing framework that guides facilitators through a structured conversation.

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

Versioning documents scenario evolution over time, enabling consistent delivery, quality review, and comparison across training cohorts.

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

Transfer of learning is maximized when simulation closely replicates the practice environment and is followed by structured reflection that consolidates the learning.
