SENTINEL U / METRIX SIMULATION: PATIENT MANAGEMENT &
DELEGATION V2 COMPLETE Q&A GUIDE 2026 UPDATE VERIFIED
ANSWERS WITH DETAILED RATIONALES
SECTION 1: SIMULATION OVERVIEW & ROLE (Questions 1-15)
Question 1
In the Patient Management & Delegation v2 simulation, what role do you assume?
A) Staff nurse
B) Charge nurse
C) Nursing assistant (CNA)
D) Nurse manager
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The simulation places you in the role of a charge nurse responsible for
1
,patient assignments, delegation, and unit management over a 3-day period. This
role
requires leadership skills, prioritization abilities, and knowledge of scope of
practice for various team members [citation:1][citation:5][citation:7].
Question 2
How many patient scenarios are included in the simulation across all levels?
A) 25
B) 52
C) 75
D) 100
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The simulation features 52 diverse patient scenarios across 3 levels of
increasing difficulty. This variety allows learners to practice clinical judgment
with patients presenting different conditions, acuities, and care needs
[citation:1][citation:5][citation:7].
Question 3
Over how many simulated days does the patient management exercise take place?
A) 1 day
2
,B) 2 days
C) 3 days
D) 7 days
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The simulation runs over a 3-day period, with patient load and
complexity increasing each day [citation:1][citation:5][citation:7].
Question 4
What is the primary purpose of the Application Phase in the simulation?
A) To review basic nursing skills
B) To assume the role of a nursing leader over a 3-day period
C) To complete medication administration training
D) To practice documentation skills
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Application Phase invites learners to assume the role of a nursing
leader over a 3-day period, applying charge nurse responsibilities including
patient assignments, delegation, and unit management in realistic scenarios
3
, [citation:7].
Question 5
What happens during the Challenge Level of the simulation?
A) Fewer patients are assigned to each nurse
B) More staff members become available
C) More patients are introduced with the same amount of staff
D) All patients become low acuity
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The Challenge Level adds complexities by introducing more patients
with
the same amount of staff, forcing learners to make difficult prioritization and
delegation decisions under resource constraints [citation:7].
Question 6
What does METRIX™ measure in the simulation?
A) Only time spent on each scenario
B) Only the number of correct answers
C) Both objective performance and clinical reasoning documentation
D) Student satisfaction with the simulation
