This scenario is under construction. The scenarios below describe the training content that is being finalised. Contact Enmatech Oman for the expected release date or a preview.

Learning objectives

By the end of this experience the learner can:

  • Locate the anatomical landmarks for biacromial breadth: between the most lateral points of the acromion processes, measured from behind with the shoulders relaxed.
  • Use the large sliding caliper correctly and read it to the required precision.
  • Position the patient correctly and repeat the measurement to confirm consistency.
  • Record the value with the side measured and compare it with reference ranges.
Biacromial Breadth VR Nursing Simulation

Procedure steps

  1. Explain the measurement to the virtual patient and position them as required.
  2. Palpate and mark the landmarks (between the most lateral points of the acromion processes, measured from behind with the shoulders relaxed).
  3. Apply the large sliding caliper as demonstrated and take the reading.
  4. Repeat the measurement; if the two readings differ beyond the tolerance, take a third.
  5. Record the mean value and the instrument used.

Assessment

Landmark accuracy, instrument placement and the difference between the learner's reading and the reference value are checked automatically, with a tolerance set by the instructor.

Equipment and setting

Instrument: large sliding caliper. Landmarks: between the most lateral points of the acromion processes, measured from behind with the shoulders relaxed.
