Participating in the Labor Activity
Your instructor will introduce the activity and break out participants into teams.
Each team will be placed in their own private Zoom breakout room.
Your team will be given 5 minutes to choose a leader to “drive” the simulation for your group.
This person will need to share their screen and implement the decisions of the group.
Make sure your leader has a strong internet connection. You may want to compare download speeds.
Ensure that your leader can share their desktop, making sure to share computer sound when they do.
When everyone is ready, your instructor will broadcast a message to begin the simulation.
Complete the simulation.
Doing so will require conferring with your teammates to answer questions regarding a wide variety of relevant nursing topics and achieving certain tasks.
Some of the questions are intentionally difficult. Try to work through them without asking your instructor (or the internet) for help. That said, if you get stuck, you can request intervention from your instructor via the “Ask for help” button.
You will have 60 minutes to complete the simulation at which point you will automatically be returned to the main Zoom session to debrief.
Once your escape room is completed, you need to take a screenshot of your final page with the score to turn in to the instructor with the names of individuals in the group.
Participate in the debriefing session that immediately follows.
Complete and submit the reflection questions.
Reflecting on your learning is a great way to build clinical judgment skills. As you complete the Synchronous Labor Simulation Activity, take a few minutes to think about the learning experience.
Why as a nurse are you concerned that Gladys is GBS positive? What consequences can this have on her newborn?
Under what circumstances would allowing Gladys to labor in the tub be contraindicated?
Would you expect Gladys to be at a lower or higher risk for postpartum mood disorders? What factors lead you to your decision?
Sierra desired to have a VBAC. What risks may occur during labor and delivery for patients attempting a VBAC?
What communication techniques could you initiate to decrease the anxiety Sierra may be experiencing?
Evaluation
Labor synchronous learning activity is mandatory and will be evaluated with the Synchronous Labor Simulation Rubric.
One page, APA citations and two or more reference is required. should answer those five questions properly:Reflecting on your learning is a great way to build clinical judgment skills.
