| Popis: | Vital-sign checks and physical assessment have been performed by physicians and nurses among medical staff in particular. However, pharmacists must also have basic skills of vital-sign checking and physical assessment to evaluate the patient condition/drug efficacy or prevent adverse reactions to drugs. To promote the acquisition of these skills, we prepared simulation programs with an emergency-care simulator, which facilitate the reproduction of excess-dose drug administration/condition changes. We used an emergency-care simulator equipped with a personal computer. General condition was established using the blinking velocity, cardiac/respiratory sounds and blood pH as parameters. As a results, concerning drug administration, the simulation programs facilitated the reproduction of symptoms related to the excess-dose insulin administration. With respect to changes in the condition, it facilitated the reproduction of asthma, hyperglycemia, and hemorrhage. This facilitated the palpation-, visual perception-, and auditory perception-mediated understanding of changes in the patient condition through fingertips and warnings/alarms on the monitor. Evaluation of the student for these program contents increased significantly (p |
