NR509 Advanced Physical Assessment Week 3 Assignment Shadow Health Assessment Assignment Introduction and Pre-brief Two days after a minor, low-speed car accident in which Tina Jones was a passenger, she noticed daily bilateral headaches along with neck stiffness. She reports that it hurts to move her? Neck, and she believes her neck might be swollen. She did not lose consciousness in the accident and denies changes in level of consciousness since that time. She states that she gets a headache every day that lasts approximately 1-2 hours. She occasionally takes 650 mg of over the counter Tylenol with relief of the pain. This case study will allow you the opportunity to examine the patient’s optic nerve via use of the ophthalmoscope as well as assess her visual acuity. You will need to document your findings using appropriate medical terminology. Careful assessment of documentation of EACH cranial nerve is integral to performing a comprehensive neurological assessment. Be sure to assess for foot neuropathy using the monofilament test. Tips and TricksBy now you are very familiar and comfortable with navigating the Shadow Health virtual learning environment. The simulated patients are similar to actual patients and can respond to over 70,000 initial and follow-up questions. Your patients will never get frustrated when you ask multiple questions and they will never get embarrassed or withhold information if you address sensitive subjects, like sexual activity.Be sure to practice asking interview questions in Shadow Health using the talk-to-text feature and the Google Chrome browser. This will assist with reducing the time commitment for each assignment and enhance the fidelity of your patient-provider experience. When writing up your physical examination findings, it is insufficient to simply document that the cranial nerve assessed was “intact” or “normal”. What does this mean? Document exactly what you assessed and the findings. Documentation of pertinent negative findings, which denote what you expect to find during the examination and not an abnormality, are just as important as pertinent positive, or abnormal, findings. Purposes The purposes of the Shadow Health Physical Assessment Assignments are to: (a) increase knowledge and understanding of advanced practice physical assessment skills and techniques, (b) conduct focused and comprehensive histories and physical assessments for various patient populations, (c) adapt or modify your physical assessment skills and techniques to suit the individual needs of the patient, (d) apply assessment skills and techniques to gather subjective and objective data, (e) differentiate normal from abnormal physical examination findings, (f) summarize, organize, and appropriately document findings using correct professional terminology, (g) practice developing primary and differential diagnoses, (h) practice creating treatment plans which include diagnostics, medication, education, consultation/referral, and follow-up planning; and (i) analyze and reflect on own performance to gain insight and foster knowledge. ?Activity Learning Outcomes Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to: Apply knowledge and understanding of advanced practice physical assessment skills and techniques (CO1)Perform focused and comprehensive histories and physical assessments for various patient populations (CO4 and CO5)Adapt skills and techniques to suit the individual needs of the patient (CO4)Differentiate normal from abnormal physical examination findings (CO2)Summarize,? organize,? And document findings using correct professional terminology (CO3)Due Date Sunday 11:59 PM MT at the end of each respective week. Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment. In the event of an emergency that prevents timely submission of an assignment, students may petition their instructor for a waiver of the late submission grade reduction. The instructor will review the student’s rationale for the request and make a determination based on the merits of the student’s appeal. Consideration of the student’s total course performance to date will be a contributing factor in the determination. Students should continue to attend class, actively participate, and complete other assignments while the appeal is pending.
