The scene opens with a report for a post-partum patient. After reviewing the report, you provided nursing care for Betty and Cameron in the post-partum unit.
Reflecting on this virtual gaming simulation, the following questions are related to your experience while engaging in the simulation. There are 9 questions. It will take you up to 60 minutes to complete the questions. We encourage you to use your simulation summary report to support your reflection. These questions will guide you through a facilitated reflection on your virtual gaming simulation experience. The questions will help you express your reactions, analyse issues, reflect on your performance, and make connections to future clinical practice.
1. What are your thoughts and feelings while you cared for Betty your client in the post-partum unit?
2. How did you feel in the role of Monica, the nurse, during this simulation?

4. Not everyone works their way through this scenario perfectly. What can you take away from the incorrect decisions/responses you may have made?
5. As you worked your way through this simulation, did you find yourself going to other sources to learn more about post-natal nursing care? If you did go to others sources, what types of things did you review to help increase your knowledge?
6. In summary, the learning outcomes were:
• Apply components of a post-partum assessment while identifying the physiological and psychosocial changes that occur during this period.
