The fast-paced hospital setting is not routinely a conducive environment for practicing procedural skills. Simulation learning can provide an opportunity for learners to achieve accuracy, confidence, and competence when performing the thoracentesis procedure. The cost associated with many commercial-brand manikins and the additional supplies needed to teach thoracentesis is expensive. However, thoracentesis is a skill many nurse practitioners (NPs) need to learn. The use of a whole, unstuffed turkey purchased at a supermarket to simulate a thoracentesis is a way in which NP students can safely practice this skill. Nurse practitioner students perform assessment skills on another student, whereas students perform the thoracentesis procedure on this turkey carcass. Nurse educators can teach NP students to safely, accurately, and efficiently perform a thoracentesis procedure using a low-cost simulator. Nurse educators can teach NP students how to perform a thoracentesis using a turkey carcass at a relatively low cost with a high yield.
快节奏的医院环境通常不利于练习操作技能。模拟学习可以为学习者提供一个机会，使其在进行胸腔穿刺术时达到准确、自信和熟练的程度。许多商业品牌人体模型的成本以及教授胸腔穿刺术所需的额外耗材都很昂贵。然而，胸腔穿刺术是许多执业护士（NP）需要学习的一项技能。使用在超市购买的完整、未填充的火鸡来模拟胸腔穿刺术，是NP专业学生安全练习这项技能的一种方式。NP专业学生对另一名学生进行评估技能操作，而学生们则在这个火鸡尸体上进行胸腔穿刺术。护理教育工作者可以教导NP专业学生使用低成本模拟器安全、准确且高效地进行胸腔穿刺术。护理教育工作者可以教导NP专业学生如何使用火鸡尸体以相对较低的成本高效地进行胸腔穿刺术。
