Resource Type: 
Case Study

Several online simulations developed by faculty at the University of North Carolina Greensboro provide patient case scenarios involving health issues commonly observed in the older adult population. The learning content may be applied to primary and long-term care clinical settings, and is directed to advanced practice nursing and physician assistant students. The simulation includes patient videos with closed captioning for increased user accessibility, and interactive case questions. Topics include: clinical pearls for managing care of older adults in long-term care, progressive fatigue, recognizing fraility in primary care, progressive memory loss, end of life, and treating in place in long-term care adult patients. A faculty guide handbook is availaable for each patient case study simulation.
