Debriefing/Guided Reflection Questions
(Remember to identify important concepts or curricular threads that are specific to
your
program)
The person who was the primary caregiver/decision maker should be allowed to reflect
on their
good decisions/ and have an opportunity to reveal errors they may have had first before
going to
the group. The last participants to comment should be the observers if any are used.
BOLD
Questions most important.
- Can the primary caregiver (Nurse 1) give me a summary of the experience?
- What was going on with this patient (i.e.-diagnosis, chief complaint)?
- What were the key assessments findings?
- What interventions did you perform, how did they go?
- If you were able to do this again, how could you have handled the situation
differently? - Family Member: How did the nurses communicate with you?
- Family Member: How did this make you feel?
- What would be your next steps? (examples: this could be if help didn’t arrive,
if Narcan didn’t work, if sats got lower) - What knowledge or skills would have prepared you better for this simulation?
- What will you take away from this experience?
- Great Job!! Or You learned a lot from that one (if not so great)
Faculty: Are there any unmet objectives? Discuss this with group or go over scenario-specific
protocols. If there are crucial objectives that were missed, or an unsafe practice
was observed,
this should be correct prior to participants leaving the room.
