About

The simulation scenario document is about a 4-month-old baby who was in the PICU for respiratory distress and pneumonia. She improved but then showed signs of breathing trouble again. The goal is to teach new pediatric nurses how to recognize and respond to respiratory distress, apnea, and bradycardia using PALS guidelines. It describes the steps needed for assessing the patient, providing oxygen, calling for help, performing CPR if necessary, and communicating with team members effectively during an emergency situation. The scenario also emphasizes teamwork and patient-centered care principles.
