ABC - RIGHT ANSWER -airway, breathing, circulation
AC - RIGHT ANSWER -before meals
Advocacy and inquiry - RIGHT ANSWER -A communication method within debriefing that pairs a
statement of observation and point of view with a question directed at understanding an action
through a participant's cognitive construct or frame.
AMA - RIGHT ANSWER -against medical advice
APAP - RIGHT ANSWER -Automatic Positive Airway Pressure
Assessment - RIGHT ANSWER -The process of documenting, usually in measurable terms, a
subject's knowledge, skills, attitudes, and beliefs.
Avatar - RIGHT ANSWER -Graphical representation of the user or user's alter ego or character. It
may take either a 3-dimensiona form, as in games or virtual worlds, or a 2-D form as an icon in
Internet forums and other online communities.
Behavioral Skills - RIGHT ANSWER -the decision-making and team interaction processes used
during team's management of a situation
best practices - RIGHT ANSWER -An idea that asserts that there is a technique, method, process,
activity, incentive, or reward that is more effective at delivering particular outcomes than any
other technique, method, process, and so on. the most efficient (least amount of effort) and
effective (best results)way of accomplishing a task based on repeatable procedures that have
proven themselves over time for large numbers of people
,Briefing - RIGHT ANSWER -This refers to any activity that occurs prior to a simulation event such
as an educational activity. This can include giving instructions, guidelines, or directives. This can
be for the instructional staff as well as for the learners.
CABG - RIGHT ANSWER -coronary artery bypass grafting
CHF - RIGHT ANSWER -congestive heart failure
CHSE - RIGHT ANSWER -Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator
CHSE-A - RIGHT ANSWER -Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator-Advanced
CHSOS - RIGHT ANSWER -Certified Healthcare Simulation Operations Specialist
CHSOS program - RIGHT ANSWER -A term used throughout various documents and resources of
the CHSOS certification. It is a general term used to encompass any and all activities related to
the application, verification, certification granting, administrative, and other functions
performed in the certification program.
COPD - RIGHT ANSWER -chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Clinical scenario (simulated scenario) - RIGHT ANSWER -A plan of an expected and potential
course of events for a simulated clinical experience.
Computer-based simulation - RIGHT ANSWER -Simulation activities that are performed via a
computer program. These are similar to virtual reality simulations, but do not include additional
interfaces between the learner and the computer.
,Confederate - RIGHT ANSWER -An individual other than the patient who is scripted in a
simulation to provide realism, additional challenges, or additional information for the learner.
Construct validity - RIGHT ANSWER -the degree to which a test measures what it claims, or
purports, to be measuring
Content validity - RIGHT ANSWER -The extent to which a measure represents all facets of a given
social construct. It requires the use of recognized subject matter experts to evaluate whether
test items assess defined content and more rigorous statistical tests than does the assessment of
face validity.
Core standards - RIGHT ANSWER -The fundamental simulation education standards that have
been developed by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare Certification Committee as a
cooperative effort with input from other simulation societies and groups.
Critical thinking - RIGHT ANSWER -A disciplined process that requires validation of data,
including any assumptions that may influence thoughts and actions, and then careful reflection
on the entire process while evaluating the effectiveness of what has been determined as the
necessary actions to take. The process entails purposeful, goal-directed thinking and is based on
scientific principles and methods (evidence) rather than assumptions and conjecture.
Cueing - RIGHT ANSWER -Information provided by instructors or designated participants in the
simulation that helps the student progress through the simulation activity by providing
information about the step the student is on or is approaching.
Cut Suit - RIGHT ANSWER -The human worn partial task surgical simulator. In realistic scenarios it
simulates the treatment of the 3 most common causes of preventable death on the battlefield,
including hemorrhage from extremity wounds, tension pneumothorax and airway compromise.
debriefing - RIGHT ANSWER -Activity that follows a simulation experience led by a facilitator
wherein feedback is provided on the simulation participants' performance while positive aspects
of the completed simulation are discussed and reflective thinking encouraged.
,DM - RIGHT ANSWER -diabetes mellitus
DOB - RIGHT ANSWER -date of birth
ECHO - RIGHT ANSWER -echocardiography, echocardiogram
EEG - RIGHT ANSWER -electroencephalography, electroencephalogram
Embedded participant - RIGHT ANSWER -scenario guide, scenario role player, or confederate;
assigned to help guide the scenario; The guidance may be influential as positive, negative, or
neutral or as a distractor.
ETOH - RIGHT ANSWER -ethyl alcohol
Evidence-based - RIGHT ANSWER -Educational materials or methods that have been proven
through rigorous evaluation and research.
Experiential learning - RIGHT ANSWER -The process of making meaning from direct experience.
Face validity - RIGHT ANSWER -the extent to which a test is subjectively viewed as covering the
concept that it purports to measure
Facilitation - RIGHT ANSWER -Any activity which makes tasks for others easy, or tasks that are
assisted.
,Feedback - RIGHT ANSWER -Information given or dialogue between participants, facilitator,
simulator, peer with the intention of improving the understanding of concepts or aspects of
performance.
FHM - RIGHT ANSWER -fetal heart monitor
FHR - RIGHT ANSWER -fetal heart rate
Fidelity - RIGHT ANSWER -Describes the level of realism associated with a particular simulation
activity.
Formative evaluation - RIGHT ANSWER -Evaluation wherein the evaluator's focus is on the
learner's progress toward goal achievement. A process for determining the competence of a
person engaged in a healthcare activity for the purpose of providing constructive feedback for
the person to improve.
FSBS - RIGHT ANSWER -finger stick blood sugar
Full body patient simulator - RIGHT ANSWER -A realistic, full-body, wireless manikin which offers
comprehensive clinical functionality to teach the core skills of airway, breathing, cardiac, and
circulation management.
Full scale simulation - RIGHT ANSWER -A device or scenario that allows simulation of tasks
related to applicable learners for a given operational requirement. It is capable of simulating the
operational environment (e.g. audio, visual, and tactile) to achieve maximum realism and
training effectiveness.
guided reflection - RIGHT ANSWER -The process used by the facilitator during debriefing that
reinforces the critical aspects of the experience and encourages insightful learning, allowing the
participant to assimilate theory, practice, and research in order to influence future actions.
