https://de.ryerson.ca/games/nursing/maternity/postpartum/game/#/
The scene opens with a report for a post-partum patient. After reviewing the report, you provided nursing care for Betty and Cameron in the post-partum unit.

Reflecting on this virtual gaming simulation, the following questions are related to your experience while engaging in the simulation. There are 9 questions. It will take you up to 60 minutes to complete the questions. We encourage you to use your simulation summary report to support your reflection. These questions will guide you through a facilitated reflection on your virtual gaming simulation experience. The questions will help you express your reactions, analyse issues, reflect on your performance, and make connections to future clinical practice.

1. What are your thoughts and feelings while you cared for Betty your client in the post-partum unit?
