Health History Tips & Tricks:
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
Student: Hello! 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.
Diana Shadow: Your patient is Tina Jones:, a 28-year-old African
American woman who has just been admitted to Shadow
Student: What is the situation? 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.
, 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
Student: What are my objectives when appropriate to increase her health literacy and sense of
in this assessment? 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.
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

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.
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

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.
