Abstract

Diana Mager is a contributing author: "Diabetic Home Care Patient with Elevated Blood Sugars," "Post Operative Care Following an Appendectomy" (with Jean Lange), and "Building a Learning Resource Center" (with Karen Daley and Suzanne Campbell).

Book description: Computerized patient simulation is an exciting and innovative pedagogical method that allows nurse educators to prepare student nurses for the challenges of clinical practice. This book serves as a step-by-step guide to designing and developing simulated scenarios, and integrating them into nursing curriculums. The authors provide concrete information about the use of simulation in a variety of programs, courses, and schools with flexible simulator uses, including live actors and static mannequins. This book also provides options for building a learning resource center, and offers guidance on faculty development. Additionally, the contributors present 17 exemplars of actual scenarios in multiple clinical areas, as well as testimonies of practicing faculty.
