The simulation evaluation will assess the learners' ability to apply ethical principles in the management of patients with substance abuse disorders, which aligns with the learning objective of the module.
Simulation-based evaluation allows learners to apply knowledge, skills, and ethical principles learned in the classroom to real-life scenarios, which enables them to improve their competency level in dealing with complex patient care situations (Sanford, 2010). Simulation evaluation aligns with the learning objectives of the Ethics and Substance Abuse module, which aims to develop nursing competencies to manage patients with substance abuse disorders. The evaluation will assess the learners' ability to apply ethical principles in the management of patients with substance abuse disorders. The simulation evaluation is aligned with the learning objectives of the module because it allows learners to integrate knowledge from the classroom and apply it in a real-world setting (Koukourikos et al., 2021).
Furthermore, simulation evaluation allows learners to receive immediate feedback, which enhances their learning process by identifying areas that require improvement. Learners can analyze their performance, identify areas of strength and weakness, and adjust their learning strategies to improve their performance. This aligns with the learning objective of the module, which is to improve learners' competence in managing patients with substance abuse disorders. Through simulation evaluation, learners can enhance their skills in applying ethical principles in patient care management (Cheng et al., 2015).
