Nursing Anne is educationally effective for clinical training targeting key skills from basic patient care to advanced nursing necessary for in-hospital patient care. This flexible manikin platform allows multiple accessory modules to be added including trauma, NBC module, and bleeding control for use in multiple settings.
Improving Patient Safety
The challenge to deliver continuous and consistent quality patient care requires proper training, accurate assessments, interventions and clinical decision making skills to ensure the best patient outcomes.By incorporating consistent simulation scenarios available on SimStore, instructors can easily integrate simulation into their clinical training curriculums helping learners make and correct their clinical errors without adverse consequences.
Patient Care
- Head with anatomical landmarks, trachea, and esophagus, along with simulated lungs and stomach, allow the practice of many procedures
- Irrigation of the eye and ear (simulated)
- Application/instillation of medications in the eye, ear and nose including nasal packing
- Mouth and denture care procedures
- Insertion and suctioning of oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways
- Insertion, securing, and care of endotracheal tubes
