Health History Tips & Tricks: - Answer✔✔-TJ Health Interview
Student: Hello! - Answer✔✔-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? - Answer✔✔-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? - Answer✔✔-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? - Answer✔✔-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? - Answer✔✔-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? -
Answer✔✔-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 improve º identify and prioritize nursing diagnoses º and
develop a plan to address nursing diagnoses.
