Patient Complaint

Simulated Client
In this simulation activity, healthcare students will participate in a post-operative appointment with Hugo, who recently underwent a prostatectomy under general anesthesia. Hugo's surgeon recommended an epidural for pain relief, which Hugo and his wife were unsure about but ultimately agreed to. During the simulation, students will be prompted to assess Hugo's pain level and evaluate the effectiveness of the epidural. This simulation is designed to help healthcare students develop the skills and confidence needed to provide quality care to patients after surgery, including assessing pain levels and evaluating the effectiveness of pain management strategies. By practicing real-world scenarios in a safe and supportive environment, students will be better prepared to provide quality care to patients in their future healthcare careers.
