CHSE Chapter 3 Test-Taking Strategies
1) At a faculty meeting, a healthcare educator states that simulation cannot take the
place of "real" clinical practice. The best response would be that simulation:
a) "Is not meant to take the place of clinical practice"
b) "Is more productive than clinical practice"
c) "Has advantages and disadvantages like all learning activities"
d) "Is an adjunct to clinical practice" - ANS-d) "Is an adjunct to clinical practice"
2) A goal that high-fidelity simulation education does not usually support is:
a) providing standardization for evaluation of learners
b) Self-learning strategies
c) Improved quality patient care
d) effective patient safety initiatives - ANS-b) Self-learning strategies
3) Candidates eligible to sit for the Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE)
exam may:
a) Be a healthcare administrator who has a simulation lab in the organizational structure
b) Have a master's degree in a healthcare education discipline
c) Understand the importance of simulation
d) Developing professional values - ANS-d) Developing professional values
4) An important goal of simulation is:
a) Learner assessment
b) Managing simulation resources
c) Understanding simulation principles
d) Developing professional values - ANS-a) Learner assessment
5) An effective method of studying for many examination candidates would be:
a) Independent studying
b) using mnemonics
c) memorizing details
d) elevating anxiety to a point - ANS-b) using mnemonics
6) A candidate taking a computerized test is anxious because the questions appear to
be progressing in difficulty, and the candidate can narrow the answers down to two
, distracters for each question. The candidate is probably experiencing questions written
at which level of Bloom's taxonomy:
a) Application
b) Comprehension
c) Knowledge
d) Understanding - ANS-a) Application
7) A reason to become certified as simulation healthcare educator is to:
a) Better understand teaching with simulation
b) Develop scenarios that can be widely used by others
c) Publish about simulation techniques
d) Validate expertise in an area - ANS-d) Validate expertise in an area
8) The ultimate goal for having an interdisciplinary certification for healthcare simulation
education rather than discipline-specific certification is to:
a) Promote interdisciplinary conferences
b) Clarify roles in patient care
c) Promote quality patient care
d) Develop collaboration - ANS-c) Promote quality patient care
9) Clinical learning differs from simulated clinical expereinces for healthcare in the
concepts of:
a) Patient safety
b) Procedural accuracy
c) Interprofessional communication
d) Deliberate practice - ANS-d) Deliberate practice
10) During a simulation experience, the learner is asked to review the patient's complete
laboratory data, x-rays, and health history, and come up with a diagnosis. This type of
scenario develops clinical decision making and uses a skillset on which level of bloom's
taxonomy?
a) Evaluation
b) Application
c) Comprehension
d) Knowledge - ANS-a) Evaluation
List 5 ways certified simulation operators can affect the healthcare environment: - ANS-
1) Support patient safety guidelines
2) Close the gap between theory and practice
3) Provide standardization of practice within healthcare
4) Impact patient outcomes and quality improvement
