He also has a history of osteoporosis.

Game synopsis:

This virtual simulation game focuses on a series of healthcare encounters with a patient who has had an emergency hip arthroplasty. The scenario progresses from a simple wound to a complex wound. First, we see the patient in the hospital prior to discharge. The nurse completes a dressing change and wound assessment and notes the staples are intact with some serosanguinous drainage. The nurse provides discharge instructions and answers the patient’s questions. Next the patient is seen by a homecare nurse who notes the incision has opened at the midline and is draining seropurulent drainage. And finally, we see the patient back in the hospital. The surgeon has opened the wound and the nurse completes an assessment and dresses the wound.

Suggested target audience:

Nursing students enrolled in a medical-surgical course.
