Nursing Simulation Scenario: Physical Assessment

People are criticizing ... to do this is nerve wrecking ... every sense of calmness and eloquence goes through the door once you step in the room . She’s good .. she did amazing ... despite the nerves .. it’s only natural .

The nurse is really explaining everything in detail to her patient.

She did an amazing job. As a nursing faculty member, I would be impressed if I observed her doing this. Nursing studetns please note: because she says what she is doing, what she finds, and whether it is Ok, she showed the paitent that she is really competent, AND she reassured him. If I were observing her , I would KNOW that she has these skills nailed. Please follow her example. She is also very attentive to his needs, is confident, is organized, and used near perfect technique.

Son: "I've seen a lot worse." goes back to looking at magazine

I remember having to do this in front of a panel of assessors, so nerve wracking. She did amazingly well

She did an AMAZING JOB!! I can't imagine how nerve wracking this must of been for her knowing she is being recorded for a training/teaching video! However if this in fact a training video there are just a couple things they need to edit. The biggest is the patient's privacy, she should of closed the door or at the very least the curtain. Another is asking the patient if it is ok for his son to be in the room during the exam. Another is to ask the son to leave the room for just a moment just long enough to ask the patient if she may ask any questions in front of his son. If he says no then those questions are discussed then, after that she can invite the son back into the room to proceed with the exam and questions. Another is to raise up the patient's bed, this is only to protect herself from straining her back muscles. One question at a time for a patient this tired and on medication that has a side effect of drowsiness. It's to hard for a patient in pain and tired on top of the pain to focus on more than one question at a time. Small things like BP cuff left on the bed blah blah...... But AGAIN I will say this woman did a FANTASTIC job! She seems like such a sweet and caring woman who truly loves being a nurse and helping people suffering, hence whatever brought them to the ER. She is extremely thorough and takes her job very seriously. She doesn't rush through the exam like SO MANY nurses do!! I get it to many patients DEFINITELY NOT EVEN CLOSE TO ENOUGH NURSES!! AND LET ME GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ALL NURSES EVERYWHERE, BECAUSE THEY DEFINITELY DO NOT GET THE RECOGNITION OR PRAISE THEY ARE DO!! NURSES run the ER, NURSES pretty much run every department they work in! Doctor's would be LOST without nurses and patients well lets not go there! NURSES bond with their patients, know their names etc....SO PLEASE CAN WE GIVE A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE NURSES AROUND THE WORLD, KILLING IT EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY!!!!

This is the coolest simulation I’ve seen! I love how interactive and how the dummy talks back to you! This helps making it so natural and realistic!!

I like the guy acting as the son. He looks very concerned lol .....

She did a great job but the only thing I didnt like was that she was always leaning over. she should have at least brought the bed up to her height so that she does not hurt her back. Back pain are the number one things nurses suffer today. I hope others do not make this same mistake, other than that I really liked this video

seems like a lovely nurse!

that s the best assessment ive seen on YouTube so far!!

omg i wanna be like her she is awesome!

This nurse is amazing

The mannequin Looks like Bruce Jenner lol

the mannequin is so realistic. Love it

She seems so nice and a great nurse

Wow. The mannequin has a voice. Pretty awesome! The girl seems like she be an awesome nurse. She seems very empathetic, caring, good listener, and attentive. Good.

Doctors and nurses are awesome they are just like your parents but they know more about the body !!! Iam thinking about being a doctor that works in the emergency room when I grow up !!!

She did soo good. My first day of clinical's is today and I am glad I watched this.

10 yrs later we’re still watching Great job
