Student: Hello! - ANS>>Diana Shadow: Hi. I'm Preceptor Diana. I will explain the
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
details of this assignment and your objectives, just as a preceptor would in real life.
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
Pay close attention to this information as it will help guide your exam. At the end of
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
this prebrief, you will answer a short question about the upcoming assignment. During
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
the simulation, you may return to these instructions at any time by scrolling to the top

Student: What is the situation? - ANS>>Diana Shadow: Your patient is Tina Jones:, a
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
28-year-old African American woman who has just been admitted to Shadow General
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
Hospital for a painful foot wound. Your role in this simulation is that of a healthcare
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
provider who will take Ms. Jones' health history, a key component of her admission
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
process.
kk
Student: What are my objectives in this assessment? - ANS>>Diana Shadow: A health
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
history requires you to ask questions related to Ms. Jones' past and present health,
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
from her current foot wound to her pre-existing conditions. You will also want to review
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
Ms. Jones' systems, psychosocial history, and family medical history. These
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
assessments together will give you a comprehensive picture of Ms. Jones' overall
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
health. If you discover any disease states, ask about symptoms and the patient's
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
experiences of them. Your questioning should cover a broad array of the symptoms'
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
characteristics. Throughout the conversation, you should educate and empathize with
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
Ms. Jones when appropriate to increase her health literacy and sense of well-being.
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
Regardless of whether you have assessed Ms. Jones previously, ask all questions
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
that are necessary for obtaining a complete health history. While you should
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
communicate with patients using accessible, everyday language, it is standard
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
practice to use professional medical terminology everywhere else, such as in
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
documenting physical findings and nursing notes. You may complete the exam
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
activities in any order and move between them as needed. After obtaining Ms. Jones'
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
health history, you will complete an information processing activity. You will identify
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
and prioritize diagnoses, then create a plan to address the identified diagnoses.
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
Student: What else will this exam involve? - ANS>>Diana Shadow: You will complete
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
nursing tasks to protect the patients safety, privacy, and health. You can document
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
your findings, including vital signs, in the Electronic Health Record. This record
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
provides necessary information for healthcare professionals who will continue patient
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
care. Besides Subjective Data Collection, and Education and Empathy, there are
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
,kk activities within the simulation that provide valuable practice for their real-world
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
kk counterparts, but they are not automatically graded by the simulation. kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
Student: How will I be evaluated? - ANS>>Diana Shadow: In this assignment, you will
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
be evaluated on your Subjective Data Collection, as well as your Education and
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
Empathy. Your success in Education and Empathy is based on whether you promptly
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
respond after identifying a moment worthy of therapeutic communication. The
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
evaluation of your interview is dependent on how you word your questions
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
therapeutically and precisely and explore all relevant topics with comprehensive
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
breadth and depth. You will also be evaluated on your ability to collect data and form
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
nursing diagnoses in the information processing activity. This assignment takes on
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
average between 90 and 110 minutes. This exam may take longer than in real life,
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
because in this safe simulation, students of all experience levels can take time to
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
hone and review their skills. You can pause and resume the assignment at any time;
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
your work is always saved automatically.
kk kk kk kk kk kk
Student: How does this assignment prepare me for the real world? - ANS>>Diana
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
Shadow: In this assessment, you will become familiarized with the structure and
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
content of a health history exam so that with real-life patients, you can: º ask effective
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
and comprehensive questions º obtain a thorough health history º evaluate the
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
patient's risk of disease, infection, injury, and complications º educate and empathize º
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
reflect on your experience and identify areas to improve º identify and prioritize
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
nursing diagnoses º and develop a plan to address nursing diagnoses.

kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
made sure to clean it and keep it bandaged. And I put Neosporin on it.
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk

kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
guess it didn't do its job.
kk kk kk kk kk kk
Student: Can you walk with your foot being injured? - ANS>>Tina Jones: No, I can't. I
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
can't put any weight on it without like, shooting pain.

Student: What made you stop taking medication for your diabetes? - ANS>>Tina
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
Jones: I guess I just got sick of feeling sick and gassy all the time, and it was
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
overwhelming, remembering to take pills and check my sugar. I feel a lot better now
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
that I'm just eating healthier than I did when I was taking the pills.
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
Student: Do you monitor your blood glucose? - ANS>>Tina Jones: I have a monitor at

can't get enough air into my lungs.

too.
