OB - Level 4

Olivia Brooks is 28-year-old female who vaginally delivered a healthy baby earlier today. In State 1, as the students walk into the room, they find the patient standing up with blood dripping down her legs. The patient complains of dizziness as she sinks into the bedside chair. Students should initiate immediate care for the patient in this potentially emergent situation. In State 2, the nurse has assessed the patient and provides report. Students should assist in implementing the postpartum hemorrhage protocol. This scenario can be used for high- or low-fidelity simulation. In high-fidelity simulation, the patient videos and tabbed chart content can be used to augment the reality of the simulation. In low-fidelity simulation, the instructor can use role play, in association with the scenario content, to stimulate student critical thinking and discussion about prenatal care topics.
