Built over 5 days as a school project during 3/7/22 - 3/11/22.

How to Get Started

- Expect at least 3 pages of HTML, Intro/Instruction, Patient Room, and Evaluation/Results.

- CSS involved would involve styling for all pages, with most complex grid/flex on the Patient Room page.

- Mutiple elements to click/interact with, including a Patient, Chart/Computer, Medication, and MAR (Medication Admin Record). To reflect 5 Rights of Med Admin.

- Gameplay centered around making choices when interacting with elements on the page. E.g. asking the patient for double identifiers; verying the correct medication, dose, route, time; and assessing for the right indication and result of the medication. Points/Pass allotted to the correct choices. Deductions for wrong choices. Safe to assume wrong choices lead to automatic failure, as this simulation is meant to train on nursing standards of care.

- Once simulation complete in Patient Room, change to different page for an evaluation of the game. Constructive critical review of game with, pointing out areas of improvement. Incorporate retry of simulation.
