Hi. I'm Preceptor Diana. I will explain the details of this assignment and your objectives, just
as a preceptor would in real life. Pay close attention
... [Show More] 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?
It's 8 a.m. on Tina Jones' first morning as a patient here at Shadow General Hospital. When
Ms. Jones was admitted at midnight last night for a foot wound, she mentioned a history of
headaches and allergies. Your role in this simulation is that of a healthcare provider who will
perform an examination of Ms. Jones' HEENT systems: Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose, and
Throat. Examination of all of these systems is often necessary to examine any one of them,
given their close proximity and physiological relationships.
What are my objectives in this assessment?
In your interview with Ms. Jones, you will ask about the health of her HEENT systems so
that you can identify any issues and document findings accurately. If you discover any disease
states, ask about symptoms and the patient's experiences of them. Your questioning
should cover a broad array of the symptoms' characteristics. You will also inquire into the
health history of Ms. Jones' family with regards to HEENT systems so you can determine
her genetic predisposition to any diseases. Regardless of whether you have assessed Tina
previously, ask all questions that are medically relevant to her HEENT systems. In
addition to collecting subjective data, you will perform a physical exam on Ms. Jones'
HEENT systems to gather objective data about the systems' health and physiology. 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.

You will complete nursing tasks to protect the patients safety, privacy, and health. 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 is based on how successfully you report on
your physical findings by selecting among clinical terms in the Electronic Health Record.
This assignment on average takes between 60 and 75 minutes. You can pause and resume
the assignment at any time; your work is always saved automatically. [Show Less]
