title: A clinical evaluation of an emergency procedures training program.
abstract: An emergency skills training program was undertaken in a long-term care setting to increase nursing knowledge about appropriate interventions. The program incorporated readiness activities and a walk-through laboratory approach to learning. Pre- and postcourse knowledge scores revealed improvements, as did a 3-month follow-up assessment of knowledge. Most of all, the response of staff to the program was overwhelmingly positive.
