Shadow Health Physical Assessment Assignment
Guidelines and Grading Rubric
Purpose
In order to provide high quality healthcare to patients, FNP students must possess competency
regarding advanced practice physical assessment skills and techniques. The Shadow Health
Physical Assessment Assignments allow the student to interact with virtual patients in a
standardized virtual learning environment which simulates real life clinical experiences in order
to achieve weekly learning objectives, course outcomes, and program outcomes. Competence
is the observable ability of a health professional to integrate knowledge, skills, values, and
attitudes. Competency is more than the attainment of skills; it involves other qualities such as
attitudes, motives, personal insightfulness, interpretive ability, receptivity, maturity, and self-
assessment. Since competencies are observable, they can be measured and assessed to
ensure their acquisition.
Course Outcomes
These activities are guided by the following Course Outcomes (COs):
1. Apply advanced practice nursing knowledge to collecting health history
information and physical examination findings for various patient
populations. (PO 1, 2)
2. Differentiate normal and abnormal health history and physical examination
findings. (PO 1, 2)
3. Document health history and physical examination findings in a logical and
organized sequence. (PO 1, 2)
4. Adapt health history and physical examination skills to the developmental,
gender-related, age-specific, and special population needs of the individual
patient. (PO 1, 2)
5. Conduct focused and comprehensive health histories and examinations for
various patient populations. (PO 1, 2)
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.
