High-fidelity simulation is a remarkable method that nurse educators use to facilitate the practice of high-risk, low-volume events that can occur in healthcare environments. An internship was completed to develop and pilot an amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) simulation for an intrapartum client that will be utilized in an undergraduate, high-risk maternity nursing elective course. Through high-fidelity simulation, students will be exposed to this event and will be better prepared to respond to this emergency and others in the healthcare setting. The simulation was piloted by practicing healthcare professionals, including labor nurses, a respiratory therapist, and an OB/GYN physician, to identify areas for enhancement before the simulation is introduced to undergraduate nursing students. The participants mentioned that this was a well-developed simulation and is a great activity to include in the nursing curriculum so that students can obtain more practice with emergencies before entering the field. A major discovery identified through performing the pilot was that this simulation will be better if not run with a confederate approach. The result of this internship is that the AFE simulation will be implemented into the undergraduate nursing curriculum. Through the development and pilot of this simulation, the developer met the AACN Master’s Essential IV (Translating and Integrating Scholarship into Practice) and NLN Nurse Educator Core Competencies I and IV (Facilitate Learning and Participate in Curriculum Design and Evaluation of Program Outcomes).83 pagesen-USObstetricsSimulationsUndergraduate nursing curriculumMedical simulation developmentMedical emergenciesText
