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 yo... ur 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.What is the situation? Your patient is Danny Rivera, an 8-year-old Puerto Rican boy presenting with a cough in the Shadowville Elementary nurse's office. Your role in this simulation is that of a healthcare provider who will perform a focused history and physical examination in order to collect data, assess Danny's condition, and transfer care. In this simulation, you will be able to perform procedures not always typical to a school setting so you can gather as much data as possible. What are my objectives in this assessment? Danny is very health literate and a good historian of his own health history; he can answer questions that not every child may be able to. In your interview with Danny, you will ask about the history of his presenting illness and the functioning of relevant systems in order to obtain subjective data related to his cough. 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. You will also inquire into the health history of Danny's family so you can determine his genetic predisposition to any diseases. In addition to collecting subjective data, you will perform a physical exam on Danny to gather objective data about his health and physiology. Throughout the conversation, you should educate and empathize with Question 10/22/20 4:00 AM EDT Question 10/22/20 4:01 AM EDT [Show More]
