Here's an example of what's due today

Emergency-response simulation

Mon, Dec 7, 2026 · Week 16 · Principles of Biomedical Technology (Principles of Biomedical Science)

Today's goal: Student teams run an emergency-response simulation to assess, triage, and stabilize multiple patients.

What a finished product looks like

This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.

Team decision log

Completes: Completes the simulation: a team decision log with every patient's triage tag, the stabilization steps applied, timing notes, and one limitation per team member.

Team roles (assigned before starting):

Maria: assessor (ran ABCDE on each patient).
Devon: treatment provider (bleeding control and stabilization).
Priya: documenter (this log).

SOP recorded: assess each patient with ABCDE, assign a color tag, then treat in priority order (red before yellow before green).

Decision log:

Patient 1: severe leg bleed, breathing fine. Tag: RED (immediate). Action: direct pressure applied at 0:45. Bleeding controlled.
Patient 2: walking, minor cut. Tag: GREEN (minimal). Action: deferred, monitored.
Patient 3: not breathing, no response after airway repositioning. Tag: BLACK (expectant). Action: documented, resources directed to survivable patients.
Patient 4: broken arm, stable vitals. Tag: YELLOW (delayed). Action: immobilized after Patient 1.

Limitations (one per member):

Maria: simulated patients could not show changing vitals over time.
Devon: foam wounds did not bleed realistically, so pressure technique was approximate.
Priya: artificial time pressure made documentation rushed, so a timestamp may be off.

Also due today: Submit the team decision log in Schoology under the Wednesday Simulation Lab assignment; all team member names must appear.

WebXam problem for today's skill

One exam-style question that uses exactly what you practiced today. Try it before you reveal the answer, then read why each choice is right or wrong.

WebXam-style domain: Biotechnology Research and ExperimentsSelf-check skill: Applying triage priority order during a multi-patient simulation

A team faces four patients at once: a green (minimal) cut, a red (immediate) severe bleed, a yellow (delayed) broken arm, and a black (expectant) patient who is not breathing after airway repositioning. Following triage SOP, who should the team treat first?
