Auscultation Simulation Module

Vital signs are consistently collected during a routine well-child examination and are also crucial for the evaluation of symptoms, the identification of anomalies, and the monitoring of pediatric patients who are undergoing treatment. This module offers a comprehensive overview of the vital signs acquisition process for pediatric patients, including body temperatures, pulse rates, respiratory rates, and blood pressures. The online simulator provides three distinct scenarios that evaluate your capacity to prepare for and evaluate pediatric vital signs. These scenarios encompass temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure, and are available in both Learn and Test modes. Practice the procedure’s steps as frequently as necessary until you achieve a sense of assurance. The entry-level competencies for which the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) assess the Medical Assistant are the foundation of this module.
