Description

In this online simulation course, you can make decisions for "Marissa" as she assists her grandmother with her prescription eye ointment for her eyelid inflammation, as you would caring for a loved one in real life. The simulation scenario includes three fictional characters: Marissa, her grandmother, Mrs. Marie Rogers, who has blepharitis (eyelid inflammation), and a nurse guide providing feedback on your decisions.

Simulation provides a safe and interactive way to practice all steps involved in applying eye ointment while immersing yourself in the lives of the characters. This simulation is intended to be a learning experience. It 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.
