Hello!
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 Brian Foster, a 58-year-old Caucasian man. He has been hospitalized in
Shadow General Hospital for 3 days after a TURP, or Transurethral resection of the prostate.
Today, he started having chest pain. Your role in this simulation is that of a healthcare provider
who will conduct a focused history and physical examination of Mr. Foster in order to
assess his condition and transfer his care. While Mr. Foster's condition is critical, he will
survive this exam.
What are my objectives in this assessment?

In your interview with Brian, 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 chest pain. 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 Mr. Foster's family so you can determine his genetic
disposition to any diseases. In addition to collecting subjective data, you will perform a
physical exam on Mr. Foster to gather objective data about his health and physiology.
Throughout the conversation, you should educate and empathize with Mr. Foster when
appropriate to increase his health literacy and sense of well-being. 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.
What else will this exam involve?
You will complete nursing tasks to protect the patient's safety, privacy, and health. You can
document your findings, including vital signs, in the Electronic Health Record. This record
provides necessary information for healthcare professionals who will continue patient care.
You will then move onto the Care Plan activity, in which you will synthesize your subjective
and objective data to complete the nursing process. You will develop a nursing diagnosis for Mr. Foster's condition, identify a treatment goal, plan your interventions and evaluations,
and finally assess if your goal was achieved. The Care Plan is just as important as your
assessment, and the patient's well-being will be greatly affected by your diagnosis and
interventions.
How will I be evaluated?
The activities evaluated by the simulation are Subjective and Objective Data Collection,
Education and Empathy, and the Care Plan activity. Nursing tasks and Documentation, while
they provide valuable practice for their real-world counterparts, are not automatically
evaluated by the simulation. The evaluation of your interview is dependent on how you word
your questions therapeutically and precisely and explore all relevant topics with
comprehensive breadth and depth. The evaluation of your physical exam is based on how
successfully you report on your physical findings by selecting among clinical terms in the
Electronic Health Record. Your success in Education and Empathy is based on whether you
promptly respond after identifying a moment worthy of therapeutic communication. Your
success in the Care Plan activity is based on whether you accurately identify Mr. Foster's
nursing diagnosis, select a goal most immediately beneficial to him, select and prioritize
the most effective treatments, and accurately evaluate your results. The Care Plan will
make up a signficant part of your grade, so be sure to carefully choose your answers based
on evidence. This assignment takes on average between 80 and 100 minutes. You can
pause and resume the assignment at any time; your work is always saved automatically.
How does this assignment prepare me for the real world?
In this assessment, you will familiarize yourself with the structure and content of a chest pain
focused exam so that with real-life patients, you can: º ask effective and comprehensive
questions º obtain and assess objective data º educate and empathize with the patient º
develop a nursing diagnosis º create an effective and expedient care plan º and evaluate
your results to determine your goal's achievement.
In 1 or 2 sentences, answer this question to help prepare for the upcoming exam: What are
3-5 common causes of chest pain?
Heart attack
Time to begin.
Hello. Brian My name is Pramila Bhandari . I am your nurse for the day.
