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.
In your interview with Ms. Jones, you will ask about her respiratory system and identify any risk factors so that you can determine any current and potential issues. 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 Ms. Jones' family with regards to the respiratory system so you can determine her genetic predisposition to any diseases. Regardless of whether you have assessed Tina previously, ask all questions that are medically relevant to her respiratory system. In addition to collecting subjective data, you will perform a physical exam on Ms.
Jones' respiratory system to gather objective data about the system's health and physiology. 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.
You will complete nursing tasks to protect the patients 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. Activities other than Subjective and Objective Data Collection, such as Documentation and Education and Empathy, provide valuable practice for their real-world counterparts.
However, they are not automatically graded by the simulation.
