MEDICAL MYSTERY GAME VOL. 2: THE CASE OF THE VANISHING PULSE Printable Nursing Case Study Game for Student Nurses

A realistic, engaging, and educational case study game designed especially for student nurses!

Step into the role of a medical detective and investigate the mysterious case of Alex Morgan, a 22-year-old patient experiencing dizziness, confusion, worsening vital signs, shortness of breath, and a vanishing pulse.

Students will review patient information, analyze symptoms, interpret vital signs and laboratory results, identify critical clues, separate relevant findings from red herrings, prioritize nursing actions, and create a safe patient-care plan.

The case gradually develops across several stages, encouraging learners to reassess the patient, recognize changes in condition, make clinical decisions, and respond to potential complications.

Students will also explore pulmonary embolism recognition, oxygenation, anticoagulant safety, bleeding precautions, patient education, discharge planning, and teach-back techniques.
