This self-paced skills lab course teaches you how to check blood glucose levels of a consumer.
Description
In this simulation course, you can make decisions similar to those in real life. This scenario features three fictional characters: Lin, her mother, Mrs. Wong, who has Type 2 diabetes, and a nurse guide providing feedback on your decisions. You will specifically step into Lin's shoes and assist her mother by checking her blood glucose.
Your decisions in simulation allow you to practice responding to a character with low blood sugar, using a glucometer to measure blood glucose, and safely cleaning up afterward. Remember that this simulation is intended to be a learning experience and does not replace the training and direction of a licensed healthcare professional under California paramedical regulations. It is designed to supplement that training and improve your skills in a safe and controlled environment.
