Vernon Russell Guided Reflection,WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS GRADED A.

Guided Reflection Questions Opening Questions How did you feel throughout the simulation experience? I thought the simulation was okay not too much going on with the patient. The assessment took a long time because you had to do every ligament of his body. What do you think went well? Overall the entire simulation was okay. Scenario Analysis Questions* EBP What priority assessment needs did you identify for Vernon Russell? Pain assessment, mental status, and musculoskeletal assessment. EBP Describe findings that might concern you regarding Mr. Vernon’s safety, fall risk, and musculoskeletal assessments. His left side was weak and limited range of motion to left side. So he may be in danger without help because he may misjudge his strength and cause more harm to himself. S Utilizing the Morse Fall Scale found at T&C Based on Russell Vernon’s comment, “I have been walking by myself for 55 years. Why do I need someone to help me now?

Physical Therapy and occupational therapy so they can properly assess him and help with his strength so that he able to get back to full potential as much as possible.

Hypertension and coronary artery disease, diabetes, and a smoker PCC What patient education should be initiated due to the identified modifiable risk factors? Eating habits should be discussed and reduce smoking habit or quitting, Concluding Questions Describe how you would apply the knowledge and skills that you acquired in Vernon Russell’s case to an actual patient care situation. I know how to properly give a head to toe musculoskeletal exam because I did not know what is was and looked it up and did the simulation. What opportunities for improvement should you address? Im not sure at this time. * The Scenario Analysis Questions are correlated to the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies: Patient-Centered Care (PCC), Teamwork and Collaboration (T&C), Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), Quality Improvement (QI), Safety (S), and Informatics (I).
