This project explores whether a health screening tool (including objective and subjective measures) can be designed to identify potential problem areas in functional mobility in clients in their 5th and 6th decades. Two students have been hired to work on the project.
Assessment of the Construct Validity of Virtual Interactive Case (VIC) Scores in Nursing cases
The Virtual Interactive Case (VIC) system allows nurse educators to create online simulations of patient encounters that students can use to practice conducting nursing assessments. The VIC case allows the student to take the patients history, conduct a review of systems and physical exam, order laboratory tests, review diagnostic images and consult with specialists in gathering the pertinent information to determine the patient problems that require nursing interventions.
