The answer

Simulated answer. Written for this fictional case, not produced by a live model. Only the figures in it are computed, from what you decided above.

3 of 6 observed learners missed a critical step, 4 steps in all.

Passing an e-learning module does not show a person can do the work: the observation does [S1]. Three learners missed a step the competency standard treats as critical [S2], and one needed a prompt.

You have recorded 0 as not yet verified (0 critical steps missed) and 0 as verified; 3 are undecided. A learner not yet verified is retrained and re-observed, not failed.

Relies on: S1 · Observation checklist, infusion pump, 12 learnersS2 · Competency standard for the pump

Review and approval

The clinical skills educator decides. Approving records the verification outcome for each learner. It does not remove anyone from duty and does not replace the ward manager's decision about practice.

Not ready to approve. 3 flagged learners are still undecided. Confirm or dismiss each one first.

In the product this is a different person with the right permission. Here you play that role to see the rule.

Limits of this example

  • One observation on a dummy is a sample of practice, not a licence.
  • The standard is the hospital's, not a regulator's.
  • This is a scripted demonstration on fictional data. No model was called and no real organisation, person or result is shown.
