Health History Tips & Tricks: TJ Health Interview
Student: 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 broad array 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 well-being.
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 prepare for the
upcoming exam: Why is it important to obtain a patient's complete health history? -
Correct answer Student: So that you understand if there are any problems related to
their chief complaint. Also, to help treat their current condition.
Diana Shadow: Time to begin.
