Self Paced
Question 1 of 5
A student nurse walks into a patient room, introduces themselves, and begins to complete a full head-to-toe assessment. The clinical faculty member enters the room, introduces themselves, and asks the student to step out of the room for a moment. The student meets the faculty member in the hallway and is asked to identify 15 cues or observations they noted during their initial contact with the patient and the patient's environment. Although the student is unable to reach 15 observations, the faculty guides the student to recognize the linen on the floor, old dinner tray on the windowsill, empty water pitcher, twisted oxygen tubing, the patient's pallor, and several other things requiring action. What is the value of engaging in this kind of activity with students in the clinical setting?
