Health History Tips & Tricks: - ANS TJ Health Interview
Student: Hello! - ANS 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? - ANS 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? - ANS 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? - ANS 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? - ANS 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? - ANS 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
