Patient Work-Up
1. Choose ONE partner. Decide who will be the patient and provider first.
2. Patient: get a chart from instructor. Provider can NOT see inside the chart.
3. Complete patient work up. Lab equipment is limited, so you will all not be able to do height and weight first.
- Provider: ASK the patient the history questions. Patient may NOT type on provider computer or see the history questions, they can
only answer what the provider asks.
- LEAVE NO BLANKS. If patient says no or none. You can chart that or "patient denies."
4. Once you finish, return patient chart. Switch roles (make sure NEW patient doesn't get same chart).
Advice from 1st block:
- Use the patient chart initials for the name. Use your partners month and day for birthday, then list patient chart age.
- The patient should answer the providers questions. You do not complete a history form by looking at a chart.
- Chart your partner's vital signs (do not use the ones in the chart)
- If you are running short on time, prioritize the history portion.

DYATD: Patient Education Teaching Tool
After you have successfully diagnosed your patient, you need to teach them about their disease. You will create a teaching tool to address the following:
Basic information: what it is, chain of infection
Screenings: How might general health screenings have helped to identify this early, what specific screenings should they continue to participate in? (Will they need to monitor effects of the disease long term?)
Preventative Measures: How can this disease be prevented?
Signs & Symptoms: What are the general s/s of this disease, what are s/s that would mean the patient’s condition is worsening and requires follow up care?
Pharmacological Needs: What medicine can this patient take either for treatment or supportive care. Include information you feel the patient would need to know (doesn’t have to be specific dose, but would need info on possible adverse affects, significant contraindications, etc.)
Support Systems: What networks of people, organizations, and resources—including family, friends, professionals, and community services—that provide emotional, practical, and informational assistance to improve patient outcomes might the patient need? These might serve to reduce stress, boost recovery, and enhance quality of life by helping with daily tasks, medical care, and mental health. May be specific organizations or general people/careers that would help the patient (include how they will help)
Use Google Slides to create a tool the patient could read through to learn about the above topics. Summarize information, include relevant pictures, check grammar. Explain any specific medical terminology using patient-friendly language.
