Role Playing a Clinical Application

Role plays can help prepare students for the clinical environment by engaging them in authentic, simulated experiences. Role plays also have a great impact on each learning domain of Bloom’s Taxonomy: cognitive (knowledge), affective (attitude), and psychomotor (physical skills). Due to the hands-on nature required of these activities, role play also gives educators the opportunity to address a variety of learning styles. For example, by having students watch a role play demonstration, nurse educators can address the learning needs of auditory and visual learners. Supplying students with handouts and/or transcripts of the role play can also further address visual learners or students with processing disorders. To engage kinesthetic learners, nurse educators can then require students to demonstrate a role-play situation themselves; which is the ultimate goal and epitome of role playing in practicum settings.

In this Assignment, you will select a clinical activity to role play with a fictitious patient.
