Transcript
This simulation should take you just over two hours, and is divided into the following sections:
- A preparation task, which should take you up to 15 minutes
- A 30 minute research task
- A 30 minute analysis task
- A 30 minute create task
- A 10 minute document and presentation activity
- And finally, a reflection task, which should take you around 10 minutes.

Materials Needed
Computer with internet access
Notepad or Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for documentation
Reference materials
Text editor
(Word, Google Docs)
(e.g., medical guidelines or textbooks)
Preparation Task (10 minutes)
Research Task (20 minutes)
Analysis Task (20 minutes)
Create Task (30 minutes)
This simulation will provide practical experience in conducting a thorough nursing assessment in a pre-hospital environment, including gathering patient history, performing physical examinations, interpreting vital signs, and documenting findings.As a reminder, below are the steps we're going to take in order to complete the simulation. There will be timers on each step, but this is simply there for guidance and there is no pressure to finish before or after the time is up!

Expected Outcome
Simulation
Simulation
PREPARAtion task
This part will set the context and prepare you mentally for the nursing assessment process.
- Task: Review the basic principles of nursing assessment within the context of emergency care. Focus on the importance of:
- the ABCs (Airway, Breathing, Circulation)
- history taking
- the head-to-toe assessment
Preperation task
Simulation
research task
This part will help you gather essential information about the patient before initiating a full assessment.
- You are presented with a patient scenario (a 45-year-old male involved in a car accident).
- Use the first 10 minutes to formulate a brief patient history from the scene:
- Spend the next 10 minutes researching common injuries and conditions associated with the scenario using available reference materials.
Research task
Simulation
Analysis Task
Analysis task:
Collecting data and information:This part will help you to interpret and prioritise the gathered information to guide the physical assessment.Based on the information gathered in the research task, identify the most likely conditions or injuries. Use a differential diagnosis approach to prioritise what to assess first during the physical examination.Outcome: A clear and prioritised plan for conducting the physical examination.
Simulation
Create Task
Perform a comprehensive nursing assessment and document findings.Task:
- Describe in one paragraph what ‘a DORA’ means, and why it is vital to use when attending an accident.
- Describe in one paragraph how you would conduct an Airway, Breathing, Circulation assessment (10 minutes): Assess and stabilise the ABCs.
- Describe in one paragraph how you would conduct a head-to-toe physical assessment on the patient following a prioritised plan.
- Describe in one paragraph how you would conduct a head-to-Toe Assessment (15 minutes): Systematically check for injuries or abnormalities.
- Describe in one paragraph how you would Reassess and Record (5 minutes): Review and document the findings.

Simulation
Document and Present
Document and Present
Compile the assessment findings into a concise and accurate report.Using your notes, create a structured report that includes:
- The patient’s history
- Physical exam findings
- Vital signs
- Any interventions performed
- PC - presenting complaints
- HPC - history of presented complaints
- OA - on arrival (initial findings)
- OE - on examination (A-E assessment)
- PMH - past medical history
- MEDS - what are they taking?
- ALLERGIES
Simulation
Reflection Task
Reflect on the Process
Reflect on the assessment process, the decisions made, and the overall experience.
- Reflect on the assessment, considering what went well and what could be improved.
- Focus on areas like communication, decision-making under pressure, and thoroughness of the assessment.
- Write a brief reflection (100-150 words) discussing how this experience can inform future nursing assessments.
Simulation
Expected outcome
By the end of this work simulation, you will have conducted a full nursing assessment, documented your findings, and reflected on the process. This experience will help reinforce your ability to perform under pressure, prioritise care, and accurately document patient information, which are critical skills for a paramedic.
