Health History Tips & Tricks: TJ Health Interview
Student: Hello! 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? 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 Diana Shadow: A health history requires you to ask
this assessment? 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.
