Older Adult Simulations

As our older adult population continues to grow in numbers, advanced practice nurses are challenged to deliver age specific care. The following educational videos provide patient case scenarios involving health issues commonly observed in the older adult population. The learning content may be applied to primary and long-term care clinical settings. The videos listed below are YouTube videos with closed captioning for increased user accessibility. Each video will play directly from the present screen or may be opened in a separate window for viewer use. Access to the faculty guide handbook for the patient case study simulation is listed below each video.
