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.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
