Learning objectives

By the end of this experience the learner can:

  • Locate the anatomical landmarks for subscapular skinfold: diagonal fold 1 to 2 cm below the inferior angle of the scapula, along the natural cleavage line of the skin.
  • Use the skinfold 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.
Subscapular Skinfold VR Nursing Simulation

Procedure steps

  1. Explain the measurement to the virtual patient and position them as required.
  2. Palpate and mark the landmarks (diagonal fold 1 to 2 cm below the inferior angle of the scapula, along the natural cleavage line of the skin).
  3. Apply the skinfold 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: skinfold caliper. Landmarks: diagonal fold 1 to 2 cm below the inferior angle of the scapula, along the natural cleavage line of the skin.
