In this assignment you will formulate a systematic and defendable approach to nursing practice decisions for a patient examination

In this journal activity you will submit a Kaltura video and objective note, demonstrating your skill in completing an objective exam.

You will use a live person volunteer, not a patient, and conduct the physical examination as a professional medical provider. During your examination you should verbalize for the evaluator what you are doing and why. “Assessing muscle strength.” “Assessing ROM.” “Assessing knee and meniscus” “Assessing for scoliosis.” Your comments are your choice, demonstrating your understanding of the assessment and the purpose.

Be sure to read the required readings and watch the videos assigned in the readings. Your final production video should be about 10 minutes. It should not exceed 14 minutes; so your preparation and succinctness in the process and moving the patient through the exam is important. Consider how you will divide your time as you begin to prepare and practice.

Include an appropriate musculoskeletal and peripheral vascular assessment for this specialty assessment.

Complete the Unit 8 Journal Documentation Template. There are two parts.

Part I is the physical assessment documentation you will complete. This is for your learning. See directions in the template for how to complete. Review the rubric.

Part II is the musculoskeletal and peripheral vascular video assessment with documentation. Be sure to use appropriate techniques addressed in the text.

You will have to practice several times to be sure your skills are honed, smooth, and that you are not looking at directions during assignment. Demonstrate professional communication with your patient.

· If your video does not include the required volunteer consent to participate and be videoed, or if it is over duration in length, or if the diagnostic reasoning scenario content is not completed, it will not be accepted. It is your responsibility to check this before you submit it.

· Complete the assessment and the documentation in a systematic way.

· Complete the questions at the end of the journal demonstrating clinical judgement and diagnostic reasoning.
