______ ______ is the concept of how realistic a simulator is, compared to
the object or scenario it is designed to simulate. - ANS Face validity is the
concept of how realistic a simulator is, compared to the object or scenario it
is designed to simulate.
Utilizing animal skin is a common method to reproduce the 'surgical feel' of
skin incisions and soft tissue dissection. However, high levels of
educational attainment can be obtained with simulators with low face
validity, such as tonsil tie simulators made out of cardboard tubes have
been shown to significantly increase trainees' ability and confidence in
performing tonsil ties, despite having low face validity.
______ ____________ are apparent at a system or organizational level.
However, they convey the same negative message as microaggressions
that occur on an individual level. They can be intentional or unintentional
and rooted in unconscious bias. - ANSSystemic microaggressions are
apparent at a system or organizational level. However, they convey the
same negative message as microaggressions that occur on an individual
1

level. They can be intentional or unintentional and rooted in unconscious
bias.
_____________ ___________________ is defined as the ability to
''behave or perform without fear of negative consequences to self-image,
social standing, or career trajectory." - ANSPsychological safety is defined
as the ability to ''behave or perform without fear of negative consequences
to self-image, social standing, or career trajectory."
________________ assessment is generally a high-stakes evaluation of a
learner's competence that may impact their professional advancement. -
ANSSummative assessment is generally a high-stakes evaluation of a
learner's competence that may impact their professional advancement.
_________________ assessment is typically a low-stakes process in which
educators monitor a learner's knowledge or performance gaps and provide
targeted instruction and ongoing feedback to close these gaps. -
ANSFormative assessment is typically a low-stakes process in which
educators monitor a learner's knowledge or performance gaps and provide
targeted instruction and ongoing feedback to close these gaps.
3 Common Phases of the Debriefing Process - ANS1. Reaction/Description

Allow for learners questions
7 essential elements of debriefing - ANS1. Ensuring psychoscoial safety
2. Having a debriefing stance or "basic assumption"
3. Establishing debriefing rules
4. Establishing a shared mental model
5. Addressing Key Learning Objectives

A healthcare provider is conducting a task analysis with a group of pediatric
emergency physicians to determine important tasks and activities in
managing head injuries among children. What is the expected outcome of
the task analysis? - ANSTo identify knowledge, skills, abilities, and other
characteristics (KSAOs) that need to be trained in the simulation
Task analysis assesses tasks performed on a given job and knowledge,
skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs) required to perform the
tasks on the job.

, 4
Understanding the tasks performed on the job and required KSAOs helps
identify KSAOs that need to be trained in the simulation.
A medical simulation program has been started at a facility. While
participants seem to enjoy their simulation scenarios, the post-course
surveys suggest that they would like better-quality feedback on how they
have done. Before the next simulation course, a literature review of recent
trends in simulation debriefing is done, and a new debriefing technique is
considered to improve the learning experience. Which of the following
innovations is most likely to improve the quality of debriefing for the
participants? - ANSGiving observers specific tasks to complete while they
observe their peers during a scenario and using these during the feedback
session. There is some evidence for the use of "collaboration scripts,"
which are instructional tools with content-specific roles and activities for
non-active participants to complete while they watch others. These may
result in better quality feedback for the participants at the end of each
scenario.
A. Simulation mannequin upkeep
B. Consumable procedure kits
C. Building maintenance
D. Clinician lost time
Label A-D as: indirect cost, direct cost, or opportunity cost - ANSA.
