Health History Tips & Tricks: Correct AnswerStudent: Hello! Correct Answer- Diana Shadow: 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
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.
Student: What is the situation? Correct Answer- Diana Shadow: Your patient is Tina Jones:, a
28-year-old African American woman who has just been admitted to Shadow General Hospital
for a painful foot wound. Your role in this simulation is that of a healthcare provider who will
take Ms. Jones' health history, a key component of her admission process.
Student: What are my objectives in this assessment? Correct Answer- Diana Shadow: A health
history requires you to ask questions related to Ms. Jones' past and present health, from her
current foot wound to her pre-existing conditions. You will also want to review Ms. Jones'
systems, psychosocial history, and family medical history. These assessments together will give
you a comprehensive picture of Ms. Jones' overall health. If you discover any disease states, ask
about symptoms and the patient's experiences of them. Your questioning should cover a broadarray of the symptoms' characteristics. Throughout the conversation, you should educate and
empathize with Ms. Jones when appropriate to increase her health literacy and sense of wellbeing. Regardless of whether you have assessed Ms. Jones previously, ask all questions that are
necessary for obtaining a complete health history. 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. After
obtaining Ms. Jones' health history, you will complete an information processing activity. You
will identify and prioritize diagnoses, then create a plan to address the identified diagnoses.
Student: What else will this exam involve? Correct Answer- Diana Shadow: 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. Besides Subjective
Data Collection, and Education and Empathy, there are activities within the simulation that
provide valuable practice for their real-world counterparts, but they are not automatically
graded by the simulation.
Student: How will I be evaluated? Correct Answer- Diana Shadow: In this assignment, you will
be evaluated on your Subjective Data Collection, as well as your Education and Empathy. Your
success in Education and Empathy is based on whether you promptly respond after identifying
a moment worthy of therapeutic communication. 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. You will also be evaluated on your
ability to collect data and form nursing diagnoses in the information processing activity. This
assignment takes on average between 90 and 110 minutes. This exam may take longer than in
real life, because in this safe simulation, students of all experience levels can take time to hone
and review their skills. You can pause and resume the assignment at any time; your work is
always saved automatically.
Student: How does this assignment prepare me for the real world? Correct Answer- Diana
Shadow: In this assessment, you will become familiarized with the structure and content of a
health history exam so that with real-life patients, you can: º ask effective and comprehensive
questions º obtain a thorough health history º evaluate the patient's risk of disease, infection,
injury, and complications º educate and empathize º reflect on your experience and identify
areas to improve º identify and prioritize nursing diagnoses º and develop a plan to address
nursing diagnoses.Diana Shadow: In 1 or 2 sentences, answer this question to help p [Show Less]
