Section 1: Biographic Data & Chief Complaint Elicitation
(Questions 1-10)
Question 1
A nursing student begins the Shadow Health Digital Clinical Experience with Tina
Jones. Which opening statement best demonstrates professional introduction and
establishes rapport?
A. "I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions about your health history, so let's get
started."
B. "Hello, my name is [Student Name], and I am a nursing student. I will be
conducting your health history today. Is that okay with you?"
C. "Tina, I need your medical history for my assignment. Can you tell me everything?"
D. "You must be Tina Jones. I have to document your health history for this
simulation."
Correct Answer: B [CORRECT]
Rationale: Professional introduction includes stating name, role, purpose, and
gaining consent—foundational for therapeutic communication. Option A is task-
focused without rapport-building. Option C is overly demanding and lacks
professionalism. Option D assumes consent and sounds perfunctory. (Shadow Health
DXC Standards: Patient-Centered Communication Module, p. 12)
,Question 2
Tina Jones states, "My foot has been hurting me." Which response by the nursing
student best elicits the chief complaint using open-ended technique?
A. "Is it your right foot or left foot that hurts?"
B. "On a scale of 1-10, how bad is the pain?"
C. "Tell me more about what's been going on with your foot."
D. "Did you injure it playing sports?"
Correct Answer: C [CORRECT]
Rationale: "Tell me more" is an open-ended prompt that encourages narrative
without leading, scoring highest in Shadow Health for chief complaint elicitation.
Options A, B, and D are closed-ended questions that limit response and reduce point
value. (Shadow Health DXC Standards: Interviewing Techniques, p. 18)
Question 3
When documenting Tina Jones's biographic data, the nursing student should record
her age as:
A. 28 years old
B. 38 years old
C. 48 years old
D. 58 years old
Correct Answer: B [CORRECT]
Rationale: Tina Jones is 38 years old in the Shadow Health simulation—a critical
demographic data point that affects differential diagnoses and risk stratification.
Options A, C, and D represent incorrect ages that would skew clinical reasoning.
(Shadow Health Tina Jones Health History: Patient Profile, p. 1)
Question 4
, Tina Jones mentions she uses she/her pronouns. Which documentation entry is
correct?
A. "Patient identifies as female; pronouns not specified"
B. "Patient uses she/her pronouns"
C. "Female patient"
D. "Patient is a woman"
Correct Answer: B [CORRECT]
Rationale: Documenting exact pronouns (she/her) demonstrates culturally
responsive care and aligns with Shadow Health inclusivity standards. Option A is
incomplete. Options C and D assume gender identity without capturing self-
identified pronouns. (Shadow Health DXC Standards: Inclusive Documentation, p. 24)
Question 5
Tina Jones states she is a student. Which follow-up question best gathers relevant
biographic data?
A. "What are you studying in school?"
B. "Do you like your professors?"
C. "Why did you go back to school at your age?"
D. "Are you passing all your classes?"
Correct Answer: A [CORRECT]
Rationale: Asking about field of study (business administration for Tina) provides
occupational context relevant to health behaviors and stressors. Options B and D are
irrelevant to health history. Option C is judgmental and unprofessional. (Shadow
Health DXC Standards: Biographic Data Collection, p. 15)
Question 6
Which question would be considered a leading question and should be avoided
when eliciting Tina's chief complaint?
