Before formal use

Both PDFs are educator-review drafts. A qualified nursing educator must review the clinical wording, learner readiness and applicable school or facility procedures before classroom use. The AI-generated anatomical illustration requires qualified anatomical review before teaching from it.

All care is verbalized in this tabletop activity under instructor supervision. Actual urgent findings require authorized scope, facility policy, provider orders and emergency response procedures. These materials do not replace clinical judgment or establish clinical competency, and award no continuing education credit.

Source references and adaptation notes are on the final page of the facilitator guide.
