    Demonstration/simulation of the case which is related to the perioperative care.
    •The students simulate/demonstrate the case of a perioperative nursing process in the operation theatre. The groups (5-6 persons) design their simulation independently and practise the simulation independently in the class. If necessary, a practice in the teacher's control is also arranged.
    •The students draw up the plan of the simulation (the teacher accepted).
    •For the simulation, the students fetch at least one scientific article (max 5 years old) which is connected with the case to be demonstrated and the central results are presented in a simulation. The scientific article will be submitted for approval to the teacher in good time before the demonstration, either on paper or electronically
    •Every group acts as the opponents to the other group. The simulations are carried out, 6h. Specific instructions are in Optima.
