Your scenario and task
You are the RN in a general practice clinic. Farah Khan, aged 43, has collapsed in the clinic treatment room before a routine appointment. Recognise the emergency, demonstrate DRSABCD and hand over to arriving help. Complete the supplied practice record. Speak to the patient and describe each assessment as you perform it. A second RN is available. Partner Imran is present. You have eight minutes; describe and select physical actions in this online exercise.
What this type of station practises
Practise recognising the need for emergency help and explaining your role in a resuscitation response. Spoken rehearsal cannot demonstrate effective compressions or safe equipment use.
In “Collapse in the GP treatment room”, use the task in the reading card to decide what to assess, explain and record in gp. Use supervised simulation for the physical sequence. Online, rehearse how you call for help, direct a colleague and give a concise handover when the response team arrives. Refer to the current ANZCOR guidance for the clinical sequence.
These are general rehearsal aims, not the answers to this scenario. Respond to information obtained during practice rather than a memorised solution.
Say-and-do preparation
Prepare the sequence and language with a related checklist. Online rehearsal develops thinking and explanations; physical technique needs supervised in-person practice.
