Question 1

Which manikin maintenance practice best extends the lifespan of high-fidelity simulators?

Accepted Answer

Using manufacturer-approved cleaning agents and storing without compression

Answer

Manufacturer-approved cleaners prevent material degradation, and storing manikins without compression avoids permanent deformation of skin and joints.

Question 2

When setting up a simulation lab for a high-acuity scenario, what is the PRIMARY consideration for equipment placement?

Accepted Answer

Replicating the clinical environment to support suspension of disbelief

Answer

Equipment placement should mirror the target clinical environment to enhance psychological fidelity and promote authentic learner responses.

Question 3

A simulation technologist notices a manikin's lung compliance is not responding correctly during a scenario. What is the BEST immediate action?

Accepted Answer

Pause the scenario, switch to a backup manikin or task trainer, then troubleshoot

Answer

Pausing to switch equipment preserves scenario integrity and prevents learners from drawing incorrect clinical conclusions from faulty feedback.

Question 4

What is the purpose of a simulation lab 'run-of-show' document?

Accepted Answer

A chronological script outlining scenario events, confederate cues, and technical triggers

Answer

A run-of-show document synchronizes the actions of operators, confederates, and facilitators so the scenario unfolds consistently across sessions.

Question 5

Which factor MOST directly affects the audiovisual (AV) system requirements in a simulation center?

Accepted Answer

The types of debriefing methods and video review requirements

Answer

Debriefing methods that rely on video playback and annotation require higher-fidelity recording, multiple camera angles, and synchronized audio capture.
