never discuss or review any info regarding a patient of a clinical site (unless part of assignment)
obligate to know and adhere to privacy policies at each clinical site
confidentiality under law and this agreement (medical records, accounting info, patient info,
between health care professionals about patients)
HIPAA rules for clinical - ANS-may not remove any record from the clinical site without written
may not disclose any info about patient during clinical
must attempt to exclude as much of the following info as possible
HIPAA includes what info - ANS-names
vehicle identifiers
date of birth
email address
social security numbers
any info to be linked to the patient
HIPAA rules - ANS-information may be disclosed for health care training and educational
purposes
promptly report any violation of the clinical site privacy policies and procedures
subject to disciplinary action of violation of rules
General survey - ANS-study of the whole person
,general health state and any obvious physical characteristics
General survey encounter - ANS-first impression
-stand promptly when name called
-look sick, rise slow
-converse without difficultly
-introduce and shake hands (palms sweaty, dry, firm handshake?)
-throughout health history, measurements and vital signs, make notes about everything
4 areas to consider - ANS-physical appearance
body structure
mobility
behavior
objective data: physical appearance - ANS-Age: person appears his or her stated age
Sex: sexual development appropriate for gender and age
Level of consciousness: person alert and oriented, attends to your questions and responds
appropriately
Skin color: color tone even, pigmentation varying with genetic background, skin intact with no
obvious lesion
Facial features: symmetric with movement
No signs of acute distress present
objective data: body structure - ANS-Stature: height appears within normal range for age,
genetic heritage
Nutrition: weight appears within normal range for height and body build; body fat distribution
even
Symmetry: body parts look equal bilaterally and are in relative proportion
Posture: person stands comfortably erect as appropriate for age
,Exceptions
Standing toddler who has a normally protuberant abdomen (toddler lordosis)
Aging person who may be stooped with kyphosis
Position: person sits comfortably in chair or on bed or examining table, arms relaxed at sides,
head turned to examiner
Body build, contour: proportions are correct
Arm span (fingertip to fingertip) equals height
Body length from crown to pubis roughly equal to length from pubis to sole
Obvious physical deformities: note any congenital or acquired defects
objective data: mobility - ANS-Gait: normally, base is as wide as shoulder width
Foot placement: accurate; walk smooth, even, and well-balanced; and associated movements,
such as symmetric arm swing, are present
Range of motion: note full mobility for each joint, and that movement is deliberate, accurate,
smooth, and coordinated
No involuntary movement
objective data: behavior - ANS-facial expression: maintain eye contact, expression appropriate
to situation, at rest & talking
mood & affect: person comfortable and cooperative with examiner and interact nicely
speech: articulation clear and understandable, stream of talking is fluent, conveys ideas clearly,
word choice is appropriate, personal communicates in prevailing language easy
Objective data: behavior continue - ANS-dress: appropriate for climate, looks clean & fits,
appropriate for age and culture
ex: indian women may wear saries, amish women wear clothing from 19th century
personal hygiene: appears to be clean and groomed
subjective data - ANS-what patient says about himself or herself during history taking
objective data - ANS-observed when inspecting, percussing, palpating and auscultating patient
during physical examination
database - ANS-formed from these elements, plus patients record and laboratory studies
, complete total health database - ANS-Includes complete health history and full physical
examination
Describes current and past health state and forms baseline to measure all future changes
Yields first diagnoses
episodic or problem centered database - ANS-For limited or short-term problems
Collect "mini" database, smaller scope and more focused than complete database
Concerns mainly one problem, one cue complex, or one body system
History and examination follow direction of presenting concern
follow up database - ANS-status of all identified problems should be evaluated at regular and
appropriate intervals
note changes that have occurred
evaluate whether problem is getting better or worse
identifying coping strategies being used
Emergency database - ANS-rapid collection of data, often compiled concurrently with lifesaving
diagnosis must be rapid and comprehensive in nature
Steps of ADOPIE - ANS-Assessment
Diagnosis
Outcome Identification
Planning
Implementation
Evaluation
Assessment - ANS-collect data (review clinical record, health history, physical examination,
functional assessment)
use evidence base assessment
document relevant data
