Description
In this online simulation, you can make decisions similar to those you would face in real life caring for a loved one -- specifically, stepping into Lin's shoes and assisting her neighbor with his insulin pen. This scenario features three fictional characters: Lin, her neighbor, Mr. Kurth, who recently started taking insulin, and a nurse guide providing feedback on your decisions.
Your decisions in simulation enable you to practice collecting equipment, setting up and priming the insulin pen, administering the insulin, 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.
This course is self-paced and expected to take roughly 30 minutes to complete. If you need to pause for any reason, you can save progress and come back to resume it when ready. Courses should be completed within 30 days of starting them.
