The session was enhanced by technology made available by the Stemmler Technology Fund for Nursing Department Laboratories, which was created by Brandy and Bertram Stemmler.<\/p>\n<p>With money from the Stemmler Technology Fund, the school was able to buy a Sam II Auscultation Manikin, a SimScope, and an OtoSim otoscopy training and simulation system.<\/p>\n<p>The Sam II Auscultation Manikin is a cardiac respiratory trainer that allows faculty to control heart, lung and bowel sounds on a manikin head and torso.

An actor portraying a standardized patient wears patches over auscultation sites, where primary care providers listen to heart, breath and bowel sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Janet Willhaus, one of the faculty members who worked with the cohort this summer, states that the Sim Scope \u201callowed us to portray individuals with illness even when the actor\/standardized patient was totally healthy. We programmed the Sim Scope to give lung sounds as if the patient had pneumonia and trained the standardized patient to behave and give answers as if they were ill. The students took the visits very seriously and the Sim Scope helped them identify the problem because we did not have to \u2018pretend\u2019 the lung sounds were coarse as they should be with pneumonia. My thanks to the donor for enabling us to use this device.
