Care Plan 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
Health History Tips and Tricks 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
Self-Reflection any time by scrolling to the top of your transcript.


Questio
What is the situation?
01/11/21 7:54 PM ES


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.


Questio
What are my objectives in this assessment?
01/11/21 7:55 PM ES


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.


Questio
What else will this exam involve?

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. You will then move onto the Care Plan activity, in which you will synthesize your
subjective and objective data to complete the nursing process. You will develop a nursing
diagnosis for Ms. Jones's condition, identify a treatment goal, plan your interventions
and evaluations, and finally assess if your goal was achieved. The Care Plan is just as
important as your assessment, and the patient's well-being will be greatly affected by your
diagnosis and interventions.


Questio
How will I be evaluated?
01/11/21 7:57 PM ES


The activities evaluated by the simulation are Subjective Data Collection, Education and
Empathy, and the Care Plan activity. Nursing tasks and Documentation, while they provide
valuable practice for their real-world counterparts, are not automatically evaluated by the
simulation. 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.
Your success in the Care Plan activity is based on whether you accurately identify Ms.
Jones's nursing diagnosis, select a goal most immediately beneficial to her, select
and prioritize the most effective treatments, and accurately evaluate your results. The
Care Plan will make up a signficant part of your grade, so be sure to carefully choose your
answers based on evidence. 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.


Questio
How does this assignment prepare me for the real world?
01/11/21 7:59 PM ES


In this assessment, you will familiarize yourself 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 develop a nursing
diagnosis º create an effective and expedient care plan º and evaluate your results to
determine your goal's achievement.


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?

Honestly, I don't feel so hot. My foot really hurts, and I'm not crazy about staying overnight at
the hospital. I just want my foot to heal up as fast as it can.


Empathiz
I am agree with you, the most important is to have healed your foot as soon as possible
01/11/21 8:07 PM ES


That's kind of you.


Questio
do you have any disease?
01/11/21 8:07 PM ES


Yeah. . . I have asthma and diabetes.


Questio
since when do you have asthma? (Clarified to When does your asthma occur?.)
01/11/21 8:07 PM ES


Sometimes if I'm hurrying up the stairs to class or I'm around a lot of dust I get breathing
problems, but my asthma really only goes crazy around cats. I haven't had a full attack in
years, though. (Clarified to when my asthma occurs.)


do you use any medication in case of asthma attack? (Clarified to Do you use medication for Questio
your asthma?.) 01/11/21 8:08 PM ES


I just use my inhaler. (Clarified to if I take anything to control my asthma.)


Questio
what is the name of your inhaler?
01/11/21 8:08 PM ES


It's just a regular Proventil inhaler.


Questio
how many times a week do you use the Proventil?
01/11/21 8:08 PM ES


I'd say twice tops. Sometimes less.


Questio
help with your asthma?
01/11/21 8:09 PM ES


Yeah, it helps. Sometimes I take an extra puff -- like 3 instead of 2.


Questio
do you asthma since childhood?
01/11/21 8:09 PM ES


Yeah, though it's not as bad as it used to be when I was a kid. I've had it since I was two and
a half.


which symptoms do you have when hyo have an asthma attack? (Clarified to How can you Questio
tell you are having an asthma attack?.) 01/11/21 8:10 PM ES


I haven't had an asthma attack in a while, but I used to get them growing up, and my chest
would feel really tight, like I couldn't take in air, and I would wheeze really bad and get all
sweaty. It was way worse than now, especially because I would use my inhaler and it
wouldn't help. It was really scary. (Clarified to what an asthma attack feels like.)


Question
do you have cough during the asthma attack?
01/11/21 8:11 PM ES
