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 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 Danny when appropriate to increase his health literacy and sense of wellbeing. 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.

Because Danny is a pediatric patient, you will also be required to make a phone call to his
guardian's home to gather additional information. 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. Rivera's
condition, identify a treatment goal, plan your interventions and evaluations, and finally
assess if your goal was achieved. You may also need to call Danny's guardian again to
involve them in his treatments. 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. Rivera'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 cough
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
strategies can you use to develop rapport with a pediatric patient?
speaking to them in age appropriate language and allowing them to be as involved as possible
in their care, explaining all procedures and allowing care givers to be present.
Time to begin.
Hello my name is Paola and I will be your nurse today.
