Hi. Im Preceptor Diana. I will explain the details of this assignment and your objectives, just as a preceptor would in real life. Pay close attention to this information as it will help guide your exam. At the end of this prebrief, you will answer a short question about the upcoming assignment. During the simulation, you may return to these instructions at any time by scrolling to the top of your transcript. What is the situation? Six months have passed since Tina Jones was admitted to Shadow General Hospital, and her foot wound has healed. Your role in this simulation is that of a healthcare provider who will perform a comprehensive assessment on Ms. Jones to demonstrate your clinical competency. What are my objectives in this assessment? AAllll LLiinneess ((662288)) Question 02/12/19 12:40 PM EST Question 02/12/19 12:40 PM EST Question 02/12/19 12:41 PM EST At the beginning of this assignment, you will be asked to identify and organize the steps of your comprehensive exam. Having a clear plan is essential to maximizing efficiency and obtaining a full picture of the patients current health. Then you will collect subjective data from Ms. Jones: inquire into her current health status, body systems, mental health, and psychosocial history. Regardless of whether you have assessed Tina previously, ask all questions that are medically relevant to understanding her current health status. In addition to collecting subjective data, you will perform a physical exam on Ms. Jones systems to gather objective data about her overall health. Ms. Jones has no new abnormal findings, so after you complete an exam task, you do not need to make selections in the Electronic Health Record, though you may document your findings if you like. While you should communicate with patients using accessible, everyday language, it is standard practice to use professional medical terminology everywhere else, such as in documenting physical findings and nursing notes. You may complete the exam activities in any order and move between them as needed. What else will this exam involve? You will complete nursing tasks to protect the patients safety, privacy, and health. While it is not required for this assignment, you can document your findings, including vital signs, in the Electronic Health Record. This record provides necessary information for healthcare professionals who will continue patient care. Activities other than Subjective and Objective Data Collection, such as Documentation and Education and Empathy, provide valuable practice for their real-world counterparts. However, they are not automatically graded by the simulation. How will I be evaluated? In this assignment, you will be evaluated on your Subjective and Objective Data Collection. The evaluation of your interview is dependent on how you word your questions therapeutically and precisely and explore all relevant topics with comprehensive breadth and depth. The evaluation of your physical exam requires you only to complete all exam actions. Documentation of the exam is optional, though encouraged, as it can provide you valuable realworld experience. This assignment takes on average between 140 and 170 minutes. You can pause and resume the assignment at any time; your work is always saved automatically. How does this assignment prepare me for the real world? Statement 02/13/19 11:41 AM EST Question 02/13/19 12:39 PM EST Question 02/13/19 12:39 PM EST Question 02/13/19 12:40 PM EST Question 02/13/19 12:40 PM EST In this assessment, you will become familiarized with the structure and content of comprehensive assessments so that with real-life patients, you can: º develop a mental model for sequencing a comprehensive exam º ask effective and comprehensive questions º evaluate the patients risk of disease, infection, injury, and complications º and document data with professional terminology. In 1 or 2 sentences, answer this question to help prepare for the upcoming exam: How does interviewing a healthy patient differ from interviewing a patient with a known health condition? In 1 or 2 sentences, answer this question to help prepare for the upcoming exam: How does interviewing a healthy patient differ from interviewing a patient with a known health condition? A health assessment is individualized to each patient based on any known health conditions, current condition and acuity. Knowing a patient has an existing condition enables the nurse to custom tailor the assessment, adding additional depth to the interview and assessment customized to the given disease state to seek additional information about effective management, symptoms, medication compliance and patient perceptions of disease state while further enabling the identification of knowledge gaps and facilitating the provision of additional education. Time to begin. Hello, I'm Kathleen. I'm your nurse today. Hi. Can you please confirm your name and date of birth? My name's Tina Jones, and my birthday's February 17th. Hi Tina. How old are you?

I'm going to be an Accounting Clerk at this really nice accounting firm. Are you excited or nervous about your new job? I'm so excited about my new job.

Are you having any health issues currently? I don't have any new problems--still just the old asthma and diabetes. Can you list all of your current medications? I'm taking metformin now, that's every day. And I take Yaz, the birth control pill. And then my inhaler is the same, but that's not every day. What is your dose and frequency of metformin?

I had two doctor's appointments earlier this year. About five months ago, I came in here for a check-up, and the nurse practitioner got me on metformin. Then a few weeks later I saw a gynecologist for a pap smear. What were the results of your pap smear? I think they were all fine. Are you currently sexually active? It's been a while, but I actually have a boyfriend now. We haven't had sex yet, but we probably will soon. How do you plan to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections when you have sex? I used condoms. . . some of the time. I was on the pill. It is important to use condoms consistently in any new sexual relationship to protect yourself and your partner. I recommend that each of you are screened for sexually transmitted infections before becoming intimate and again six months into the relationship, and continue condom use until after that six month exam. Thanks for telling me. Please tell me about any hospitalizations you've experienced. (No matching questions found.) Will you tell me about any hospitalizations you've experienced? (No matching questions found.) Have you been hospitalized? Well, before this I went a bunch of times when I was little, for asthma attacks. This is the first time I've been in the hospital since I was probably sixteen, though. What brought you to the hospital? Show Less [Show Less]
