Shadow Health - Tina Jones, Health
History Exam Questions and Answers
100% Correct

Student: What is the situation? - ANSWER-Diana Shadow: Your patient is Tina Jones:,
a 28-year-old African American woman who has just been admitted to Shadow General
Hospital for a painful foot wound. Your role in this simulation is that of a healthcare
provider who will take Ms. Jones' health history, a key component of her admission
process.



Student: What are my objectives in this assessment? - ANSWER-Diana Shadow: A
health history requires you to ask questions related to Ms. Jones' past and present
health, from her current foot wound to her pre-existing conditions. You will also want to
review Ms. Jones' systems, psychosocial history, and family medical history. These
assessments together will give you a comprehensive picture of Ms. Jones' overall
health. 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. Throughout the conversation, you should educate and empathize with
Ms. Jones when appropriate to increase her health literacy and sense of well-being.
Regardless of whether you have assessed Ms. Jones previously, ask all questions that
are necessary for obtaining a complete health history. 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. After obtaining Ms. Jones' health history, you will
complete an information processing activity. You will identify and prioritize diagnoses,
then create a plan to address the identified diagnoses.



Student: How does this assignment prepare me for the real world? - ANSWER-Diana
Shadow: In this assessment, you will become familiarized with the structure and content
of a health history exam so that with real-life patients, you can: º ask effective and
comprehensive questions º obtain a thorough health history º evaluate the patient's risk
of disease, infection, injury, and complications º educate and empathize º reflect on your
experience and identify areas to improve º identify and prioritize nursing diagnoses º
and develop a plan to address nursing diagnoses.



Diana Shadow: In 1 or 2 sentences, answer this question to help prepare for the
upcoming exam: Why is it important to obtain a patient's complete health history? -
ANSWER-Student: So that you understand if there are any problems related to their
chief complaint. Also, to help treat their current condition.
