2. COPD and Complex Medication Profile
This virtual gaming simulation is focused on a 53 year old male client who presents with an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a number of comorbidities, history of smoking, and current occasional use of cannabis substances. The game is designed to assess the user’s knowledge and clinical judgement when providing care for a client who requires extensive medications and assistance from an interprofessional team.
