use an example from a prior clinical or work experience. Include the following
information:
Briefly
describe your practice setting and the typical patient population.
Provide
examples of key subjective and objective data points you collect.
Describe
how you document your findings. Is there technology involved?

As the
school nurse working in a college health clinic, you see many opportunities to
promote health. Maria is a 40-year-old Hispanic who is in her second year of
nursing school. She complains of a 14-pound weight gain since starting school
and is afraid of what this will do to both her appearance and health if the
trend continues. After conducting her history, you learn that she is an
excellent cook and she and her family love to eat foods that reflect their
Hispanic heritage. She is married with two school-age children. She attends
class a total of 15 hours per week, plus she must be present for 12 hours of
labs and clinical. She maintains the household essentially by herself and does
all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, and chauffeuring of the children. She
states that she is lucky to get 5 hours of sleep per night, but that is okay
with her. She drinks coffee all morning to "keep her going." She
lives 1 hour from campus and commutes each day, and often drinks diet cola to
"stay awake." When asked what she does to relax and de-stress, Maria
states she "doesn't even have time to think about that."
Maria's
vitals today are as follows; T 98.6, R 20, HR 88, BP 148/90
Using the
lesson and text as your guide, answer the following questions.
What
additional assessment data (subjective and/or objective) would you like to

What actual
health concerns and risk factors have you identified?
What are
some opportunities to promote health and wellness for Maria?

health concerns or opportunities you have identified. (Please use one of the
formulas outlined in the text and lesson!)

of coming home from work to find Elizabeth sitting on the couch watching
television. Elizabeth did not go to the door to greet her or look toward her
when she said hello. The mother thought the daughter's behavior was odd because
she always greeted her at the door with a hug. As she approached Elizabeth, she
noticed that she was clutching her right arm as if in pain. The mother asked
what was wrong, but Elizabeth remained silent. Then she said "Nothing is
wrong." The father is sleeping upstairs. The mother gives a family history
of having an alcoholic husband who usually drinks himself to sleep. She said he
has abused Elizabeth physically and psychologically in the past, and she
brought her to the emergency room because she fears he has hurt her. When
Elizabeth is asked about the abuse she appears scared, insecure, and withdrawn.
What
considerations should be made by the nurse, to provide a physically and
emotionally safe environment for the interview and assessment of this client
who has experienced domestic abuse?

Debriefing
the Week 6 Head to Toe Assessment Assignment
Purpose
This week's
graded topics relate to the following Course Outcomes (COs).

The
Assignment
In Week 6
you demonstrated a head to toe assessment of an adult participant. This week
you and your classmates will reflect on physical assessment in your own nursing
practice, and on the assessment you performed for your video assignment.
Please
consider the following in your initial post:
Please
share how physical assessment is performed in your practice area. How do you
determine what type of physical assessment is appropriate in caring for your
patients? Do you perform complete head to toe assessments, or are they
typically more focused exams? (If you do not currently work in a patient care
setting, you may reflect on observations from a clinical experience or prior
work setting.)
Based on
your observations, do you feel that patient assessments performed in practice
are as thorough as they should be? Explain your answer.
Reflect on
the assessment you performed for the video assignment. Perhaps you might
compare your performance now, to how it might have been different when you were
a brand new nurse? Or share something you learned (or were reminded of) by
participating in this activity?

Case Study to Consider
Ann and
Michael have been married for 55 years. Ann is 80 years-old, and suffers from
lung cancer and advanced Alzheimer's disease. She currently resides in a
nursing home, and often does not recognize Michael when he visits. Last night
she was admitted to the hospital with difficulty breathing. Today, you are the
nurse caring for Ann, and her physician is suggesting surgery to remove part of
her lung to potentially slow the progression of her cancer. Michael is feeling
unsure about this course of treatment, and asks for your advice and guidance.
How would you
respond to Michael and serve as advocate for your patient?
Option #2 -
Share a Related Experience
Share with
your classmates a time when you cared for a patient at the end of their life.
This may be a time when you assisted the patient (or their support system) with
decisions related to end of life care; or a time when you were present for the
death of a patient.
What were
your observations related to this experience? Do you believe it was a peaceful
death? What went well? Can you think of anything that could have made the
experience better for the patient and/or family?

(This is meant to be a general physical examination. Skills that are not
included on the outline do not need to be in your video.)
You may
record your video in Kaltura (available to you in the course) or you may use
your own phone or other digital camera device. ALL videos must be uploaded to
Kaltura in the course shell for submission. Follow this link for step-by-step
directions on how to do this: How to Produce, Upload, and Submit a Video (Links
to an external site.) (These instructions are also found in the Program

video must remain in your My Media library and ONLY be submitted to the
assignment for instructor review as instructed. Please follow the linked
instructions to ensure you do not publish for public view in the course.
Relax! You
are a highly skilled registered nurse! This assignment is meant to be a
“refresher” for practice; and to provide for you with the opportunity to
revisit, and improve upon, skills that you may not use regularly. Prior to
recording, refer to your textbook to review proper technique for the required
skills.
