The Geriatric Sensory Impairment Kit allows students to gain a deeper understanding of some of the common sensory issues faced by elderly patients, aiding in the development of elderly care nursing skills.
The sensory impairment kit includes:
- Hearing impairment simulator: These headphones allow the user to experience tinnitus, high-frequency hearing loss, general hearing loss and dementia-related confusion.
- Geriatric Arthritis Simulator: When worn on the hands, these recreate the experience of mild to severe arthritis
- Geriatric Tremor Simulator: A device that causes hand tremors through EMS technology
- A storage container for each simulator
- A curriculum guideline
A great tool to help students develop empathy and awareness when working with elderly patients.
