1. What is the main purpose of simulation in healthcare

education?

a) To provide a safe and realistic environment for learners

to practice their skills and knowledge

b) To replace the clinical experience of learners with a

more controlled and standardized setting

c) To evaluate the performance and competence of learners

using standardized criteria

d) To create a fun and engaging learning experience for

learners

*Answer: a) To provide a safe and realistic environment

for learners to practice their skills and knowledge

Rationale: Simulation in healthcare education is designed

to provide a safe and realistic environment for learners to

practice their skills and knowledge, without harming real

patients or compromising patient safety. Simulation does

not replace the clinical experience of learners, but rather

complements and enhances it. Simulation can also be used

to evaluate the performance and competence of learners,

but this is not its main purpose. Simulation can also create

a fun and engaging learning experience for learners, but

this is not its primary goal.*

2. What are some of the benefits of simulation in healthcare

education?

a) It improves the confidence, competence, and

communication skills of learners

b) It reduces the stress, anxiety, and fear of learners

c) It increases the retention, transfer, and application of
