RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Utilizing Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice™, a virtual reality (VR) platform was created to meet American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essential and Quad Council Public Health competencies. The scenario, involving major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation and alcohol dependency, engages learners in assessing suicide risk, recognizing symptoms, and recommending treatment. Eighty-four prelicensure nursing students have taken part in this mental health VR simulation since spring 2023. Although no significant difference was observed between pre-post knowledge, learners appreciated the VR experience. Student ratings were lowest for how physically demanding the task was and highest for their focus and interest in successfully doing the simulation.

Purulent bacterial pericarditis is rare and associated with significant short- and long-term morbidity. We report a case of purulent bacterial pericarditis caused by Group A Streptococcus in an immunocompetent young child presenting with a pericardial mass. She was successfully treated with a combined medical and early surgical approach. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
