Hello! Question
0x/x4/2x 8:xx PM MDT
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? Question
0x/x4/2x 8:xx PM MDT
It’s midday, and Tina Jones is starting her first day as a patient at Shadow General Hospital. In this simulation, you’re a healthcare provider tasked with conducting a complete respiratory exam on Ms. Jones because of her history of asthma.
What else will this exam involve? Question
0x/14/2x 8:xx PM MDT
You will perform nursing duties to ensure the safety, privacy, and health of the patient. You’ll also document your findings, such as vital signs, in the Electronic Health Record, which provides crucial information for ongoing patient care. Tasks beyond collecting Subjective and Objective Data, like Documentation and Education and Empathy, offer valuable practice but aren’t automatically graded.
How will I be evaluated? Question
xxx
In this assignment, your performance will be assessed based on Subjective and Objective Data Collection. The quality of your interview depends on how you phrase your questions therapeutically and comprehensively explore relevant topics. Your assessment during the physical exam is based on accurately reporting your physical findings using clinical terms in the Electronic Health Record. This assignment typically takes 40 to 50 minutes on average, and you can pause and resume it anytime with automatic saving.
How does this assignment prepare me for the real world? Question
xxx
This assessment familiarizes you with the structure and content of respiratory exams so that, in real-life scenarios, you can: º ask thorough and effective questions º use language that supports therapy º assess the patient’s risk of various conditions º and gather and evaluate objective data.
What are my objectives in this assessment? Question
0xx
During your interview with Ms. Jones, you’ll inquire about her respiratory system and any risk factors to identify current and potential issues. If any disease states are identified, you’ll explore symptoms and the patient’s experiences. Your questions should cover a wide range of symptom characteristics. Additionally, you’ll ask about Ms. Jones’ family health history related to the respiratory system to assess her genetic predisposition to diseases. Regardless of any previous assessments of Tina, you’ll ask all medically relevant questions concerning her respiratory system. Alongside collecting subjective data, you’ll conduct a physical exam of Ms. Jones’ respiratory system to gather objective data on its health and functioning. While using everyday language to communicate with patients, it’s standard to employ professional medical terminology elsewhere, such as in documenting physical findings and nursing notes. You can complete the exam tasks in any order and switch between them as necessary.
What is the situation? Question
0x/14/2x xxx PM MDT
It’s noon on Tina Jones’ first day as a patient here at Shadow General Hospital. Your role in this simulation is that of a healthcare provider who will perform a full respiratory exam on Ms. Jones given her history of asthma.

Question |

I’m 28.
|
|
|
What brings you to the clinic today?
|
Question |
|
I came in because I’ve been having breathing problems, and my inhaler just isn’t working the way it normally does.
|
|
|
Am sorry to hear that.
|
Empathize |
|
I appreciate you saying that.
|
|
|
What medical problems do you have?
|
Question |
|
Well. . . I’ve had asthma since I was really little, though for a while there it wasn’t really much of a problem. And I have sugar diabetes, too.
|
|
|
What do you use for your asthma?
|
Question |
|
It’s just a regular Proventil inhaler.
|
|
|
How often do you use your inhaler?
|
Question |
|
I’ve been using it probably every. . . four hours or so, I’d say.
|
|
|
When did your symptoms start?
|
Question |
|
I don’t know if I’d call it an asthma attack, but my asthma started acting up two days ago at my cousin’s house. She has cats, and I’m allergic, so I’m used to it being a problem there, but usually the inhaler fixes it. . . it doesn’t feel totally under control, though.
|
|
|
Am sorry to hear that
|
Empathize |
|
Thanks for understanding.
|
|
|
How long have you had breathing problems?
|
Question |
|
My breathing’s been acting up off and on for the past two days.
|
|
|
How frequent are your shortness of breath episodes?
|
Question |
|
Sometimes it can take a few minutes for me to realize I need my inhaler, then once I use it the wheezing usually gets better. . . I’d say it takes about a minute to work at most after that. So five minutes total, at the longest?
|
|
|
How long does one episode last?
|
Question |
|
I haven’t had a full attack in years, but usually once I use my inhaler it only takes a minute or two for my breathing to go back to normal. . . that’s not what’s been happening recently, though.
|
|
|
How many times have you had breathing problems in the past 2 days?
|
Question |
|
Well. . . it’s kind of hard to count because my breathing’s been at least a little bad most of the past two days, but it’s really acted up, like with wheezing and everything, probably every four hours or so–like five times each day.
|
|
|
Is your asthma keeping you up at night?
|
Question |
|
My asthma doesn’t usually wake me up, but it has the past couple nights.
|
|
|
How bad was your asthma attack?
|
Question |
|
My asthma used to be really scary. I haven’t had a full attack in years, and if you had asked me before this I would have said my asthma wasn’t that bad anymore, but the last couple days I’ve had a lot of trouble breathing.
|
|
|
Is there anything you can’t do because of your asthma?
|
Question |
|
There usually isn’t anything I can’t do because of my asthma. . . I guess I try to avoid things that make my breathing worse, but that’s about it. The past couple days, though, it’s been hard to do anything.
|
|
|
Do you wheeze during an asthma exacerbation?
|
Question |
|
During a full attack, I would wheeze a lot, like I couldn’t breathe at all, but until the past couple days, I would usually just wheeze a little when I had breathing problems.
|
|
|
Any chest tightness? (Clarified to Have you had chest tightness?.)
|
Question |
|
Yeah, when my asthma gets bad my chest feels pretty tight, like I can’t take in air. It’s felt that way a lot the past two days. (Clarified to if I have had chest tightness.)
|
|
|
Are you having any chest tightness?
|
Question |
|
It just feels like I can’t really take in air when I breathe, sort of like breathing makes my chest tighter. . . it doesn’t hurt or anything, though.
|
|
|
Any cough?
|
Question |
|
I’ve been coughing a lot, yeah.
|
|
|
How long have you had the cough?
|
Question |
|
Since my asthma acted up two days ago.
|
|
|
How would you describe the cough?
|
Question |
|
Um. . . I guess I’d describe it as a small, dry cough.
|
|
|
How would you describe the cough?
|
Question |
|
Um. . . I guess I’d describe it as a small, dry cough.
|
|
|
What makes your cough better?
|
Question |
|
Drinking some water helps a little, as long as the water isn’t too cold.
|
|
|
Have you tried to treat your cough?
|
Question |
|
I haven’t taken medicine for it or anything.
|
|
|
Is your asthma worse at night?
|
Question |
|
It has been the past couple nights, yeah.
|
|
|
Does lying on your back make your asthma worse?
|
Question |
|
Just recently lying on my back has definitely made my breathing worse.
|
|
|
To help your breathing, you may want to elevate your head with two pillows
|
Educate |
|
Alright, thanks for letting me know.
|
|
|
Any allergies?
|
Question |
|
Yeah, I’m allergic to cats.
|

What medications do you take?

My inhaler is the only prescription I always have, but I usually don’t need it everyday, except for recently. . .

When did you last use your inhaler?
|
Question |

I had to use it early this morning.

How many puffs of your inhaler are you prescribed?

I’m supposed to just do two puffs of the albuterol inhaler. It’s 90 micrograms a spray. [AUDIO COMING SOON]

Make sure to follow the Proventil instructions as prescribed.

Educate |

Thanks for telling me.

Are you taking any other medications?

No, all I really use is my inhaler.
|
|
|
Do you take any over-the-counter medications?
|
Question |

I take Tylenol for a headache sometimes, or Advil for cramps, but not often.

How much Tylenol do you take? (Clarified to How much Tylenol do you take?.)
|
Question |
|
I just take one or two of the 500 mg acetaminophen. I usually get the headaches at night from reading — squinting I guess — and so I take one or two and go to bed. [AUDIO COMING SOON] (Clarified to how much Tylenol I take.)
|
|
|
How much advil do you take for cramps?
|
Question |
|
I take three 200 mg pills at a time. And I’d bet I take it up to three times a day. [AUDIO COMING SOON]

|
Any new allergies?
|
Question |
|
No, not that I know of.
|
|
|
What started your recent asthma problems?
|
Question |
|
This all started at my cousin’s house. She has cats, and I’m allergic, so my asthma always goes crazy when I’m there.
|
|
|
Does being around dust trigger your asthma?
|
Question |
|
Yeah, being around a lot of dust, especially hanging out in a really dusty house, can make my asthma act up.
|
|
|
Am sorry to hear that
|
Empathize |
|
I appreciate you saying that.
|
|
|
Does climbing stairs trigger asthma?
|
Question |
|
Only when I’m in a rush and have to hurry up them.
|
|
|
Any seasonal allergies?
|
Question |
|
A little while ago, I had some seasonal allergies, but it didn’t really bother my asthma, and it’s better now.
|
|
|
Does anything at work make your asthma worse?
|
Question |
|
Well. . . sometimes when there’s dust at work it can make my asthma act up, but that doesn’t happen very often.
|
|
|
Do you see an asthma specialist?
|
Question |
|
I used to go to Dr. Dewitt, but she moved her practice recently. Luckily she’s still been able to call in refills of my inhaler, but I haven’t actually been in to see her in about two years.
|
|
|
It is important to follow up regularly with your asthma specialist.
|
Educate |
|
OK, I understand.
|
|
|
How long have you had asthma?
|
Question |
|
I’ve had asthma a long time. . . since I was really little.
|
|
|
How old were you when you were diagnosed with asthma?
|
Question |
|
My doctor told me when I was pretty little… I think I was about two and a half? I used to have a lot of trouble with asthma attacks back then.
|
|
|
Have you ever been hospitalized for asthma?
