Manikin

A manikin is a lifelike, human-shaped model used in nursing education and training to simulate patient care scenarios. Often found in nursing simulation labs, manikins range from basic models for practicing skills like CPR to advanced, high-fidelity manikins that mimic physiological responses such as breathing, heartbeats, and vital signs. These tools allow nursing students to develop and refine clinical skills in a safe, controlled environment before working with real patients.
