Health History Tips & Tricks:
...
Student: Hello!
Diana Shadow: 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.
Student: What is the situation?
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?
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: What else will this exam involve?
Diana Shadow: You will complete nursing tasks to protect the patients safety, privacy,
and health. 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. Besides Subjective Data Collection, and Education and
Empathy, there are activities within the simulation that provide valuable practice for their
real-world counterparts, but they are not automatically graded by the simulation.
Student: How will I be evaluated?
Diana Shadow: In this assignment, you will be evaluated on your Subjective Data
Collection, as well as your Education and Empathy. Your success in Education and
Empathy is based on whether you promptly respond after identifying a moment worthy
,of therapeutic communication. 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. You will also be evaluated on your ability to
collect data and form nursing diagnoses in the information processing activity. This
assignment takes on average between 90 and 110 minutes. This exam may take longer
than in real life, because in this safe simulation, students of all experience levels can
take time to hone and review their skills. You can pause and resume the assignment at
any time; your work is always saved automatically.
Student: How does this assignment prepare me for the real world?
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?
Student: So that you understand if there are any problems related to their chief
complaint. Also, to help treat their current condition.
Diana Shadow: Time to begin.

Patient Exam - Interview:
...
Student: Hello, my name is Catlain, I am your nurse today.
Tina Jones: Hey.
Student: Can you confirm your name?
Tina Jones: Tina Jones:.
Student: Why did you come in today?
Tina Jones: I got this scrape on my foot a while ago, and it got really infected. It's killing
me.
Student: What additional symptoms have you experienced?
Tina Jones: I mean, it's all red and swollen, and there's pus, it feels hot, it hurts like
hell... It's got all that going on.
Student: Can you rate your current pain level on a scale of 0 to 10?
Tina Jones: ...Like a 7. It hurts a lot, but whatever pain med the ER gave me is helping
a little bit.
Student: Please describe the pain.
Tina Jones: It's throbbing and like, sharp if I try to put weight on it.
Student: How did you hurt your foot?
Tina Jones: I was changing a light bulb, and I had to use our little stepstool to reach it.
My foot slid off the bottom step and it got all scraped up. I didn't realize how sharp the
edge was!
,Student: Has your foot been draining any liquids?
Tina Jones: Yeah, there's definitely pus.
Student: What color was the pus?
Tina Jones: It's... white or maybe off-white.
Student: How have you treated the wound?
Tina Jones: I've been taking Advil for my foot for a few days.
Student: What did you do to treat your foot after your accident?
Tina Jones: I made sure to clean it and keep it bandaged. And I put Neosporin on it.
Student: How effective was the Neosporin?
Tina Jones: Well, I'm here, so I guess it didn't do its job.
Student: Can you walk with your foot being injured?
Tina Jones: No, I can't. I can't put any weight on it without like, shooting pain.
Student: What preexisting medical conditions do you have?
Tina Jones: I mean, I have asthma and diabetes, but right I now I just care about my
foot!
Student: I understand your foot hurts, but I need to know this information to make sure I
take care of the problem correctly.
Tina Jones: Thanks.
Student: When were you diagnosed with diabetes?
Tina Jones: I was diagnosed when I was 24.
Student: What do you do to manage your asthma?
Tina Jones: I try to avoid things that give me breathing problems, but when my asthma
starts to act up, I just use my inhaler.
Student: What medications did you take for your diabetes?
Tina Jones: It was metformin.
Student: Do you currently take medicine for your diabetes?
Tina Jones: No, I don't take anything for my diabetes anymore.
Student: What made you stop taking medication for your diabetes?
Tina Jones: I guess I just got sick of feeling sick and gassy all the time, and it was
overwhelming, remembering to take pills and check my sugar. I feel a lot better now that
I'm just eating healthier than I did when I was taking the pills.
Student: Do you monitor your blood glucose?
Tina Jones: I have a monitor at home, but to be honest I don't really use it that often.
Student: How frequently do you urinate?
Tina Jones: I don't know. Every hour or two when I'm awake?
Student: What is your current diet?
Tina Jones: It's pretty good, I think. I'm not a huge health nut or anything.
Student: Have you had any change in appetite?
Tina Jones: Yeah, lately I've definitely been much hungrier than usual.
Student: Has your weight changed?
Tina Jones: Yeah, I've lost some weight recently.
Student: Do you know why you lost weight?
Tina Jones: I don't know what caused it, I just lost weight.
Student: How often do you have asthma exacerbations?
Tina Jones: I haven't had a full attack in years. But my breathing definitely acts up. . .not
always. Max twice a week.
, Student: What asthma symptoms have you experienced?
Tina Jones: My chest and throat get tight, and I start to wheeze. It feels like I can't take
in air, like I can't get enough air into my lungs.
Student: How many puffs do you take when using your asthma inhaler?
Tina Jones: I usually use two puffs from my inhaler, but sometimes I need three. [Nurse
confirmed with Pharmacy: albuterol 90mcg/spray MDI]
Student: What are some things that trigger your asthma?
Tina Jones: Being around cats is the worst, but dust and running up stairs can make my
breathing bad, too.
Student: What allergies do you have?
Tina Jones: I'm allergic to cats.
Student: When did you realize you were allergic to cats?
Tina Jones: For as long as I've been around.
Student: How effective was your pain medication at home?
Tina Jones: Whatever pain medication the ER gave me is helping. Before I came in, I
was just taking Advil. For the past few days, the Advil wasn't doing much for me -- it
would only last a couple of hours.
Student: What medication allergies do you have?
Tina Jones: I'm allergic to penicillin.
Student: What food allergies do you have?
Tina Jones: I don't have any food allergies that I know of.
Student: Are you allergic to dust, mold, or pollen?
Tina Jones: Well. . . I don't know if it's allergies, but sometimes my asthma acts up
around dust.
Student: What immunizations have you received?
Tina Jones: I got a tetanus booster for work about a year ago. For the other kinds, I got
all the required ones when I was a kid, and for college...I'm sure I have a record
somewhere at home.
Student: Have you received a flu vaccine?
Tina Jones: No.
Student: Have you had any prior hospitalizations?
Tina Jones: Well, before this I went a bunch of times when I was little, for asthma
attacks. This is the first time I've been in the hospital since I was probably sixteen,
though.

Tina Jones: No. I've never really had stomach or bowel problems.

Student: Do you have any neck, throat or gland problems?
Tina Jones: No, not that I noticed.

Tina Jones: I don't think I have any problems. I get headaches sometimes, but that's all.
Student: Any problems with your ears?
Tina Jones: No.
