The exercise, Pathways to Safer Opioid Use, is an interactive learning simulation.
This interactive simulation was created to encourage discussion around best practices for safe opioid use among medical practitioners and patients with the goal of reducing the staggering number of adverse drug events experienced each year due to the misuse of prescription drugs. This exercise will serve as a catalyst for applying communication skills and advocacy strategies in multiple scenarios throughout the coming weeks.
For this exercise, you will assume the role of Rhonda Clark, a registered nurse. In the scenario, you will make decisions as Rhonda and then witness the positive or negative consequences of those choices.
Every day we ask our patients to make good decisions for their health and well-being. In our work and throughout this course, we note that even small changes can have a profound impact on health promotion and disease prevention.
Keep in mind, it is appropriate here to make decisions that you may feel are “wrong” but “realistic.” A great deal can be learned by exploring negative consequences and outcomes.
You can not login into our school portal to see Pathways to Safer Opioid Use simulation exercise. Instead I have created a video recording the simulation. Check it here, part 1 and part:
