Scenario Description

A 75-year-old male patient with active hematemesis is admitted to the emergency department. The patient has a history of Coumadin and NSAID use. In this scenario, learners must complete a focused abdominal assessment, implement fluid resuscitation, and initiate an anticoagulant reversal protocol. Essentials procedural skills include nasogastric tube insertion, pH verification, and occult stool testing.

This scenario has been designed for a moderatorless experience and focuses on developing skills such as Assessing a Peripheral Pulse by Palpation, Inserting a Nasogastric Tube, Obtaining Occult Blood Specimen, and more.
