QuestionAnswered step-by-stepDocumentation Assignment PHYSCIAL EXAMINATION Document Assignment: Physical Examination Download Document Assignment: Physical ExaminationStudents will have the opportunity to practice on a peer and/or standardized patient during the second simulation day. You are expected to complete a head-to-toe assessment on a classmate during this practice session. Students may utilize the form/rubric below during practice to obtain objective data. This information will be the basis for your physical examination documentation assignment within the course. Helpful hints: During your practice session with your peer, write your findings down. These may be normal and/or abnormal findings. You will need to describe what normal and abnormal mean. For example, instead of documenting “the skin assessment is normal”, you can use descriptors such as “skin is warm, soft, uniform, and appropriate for ethnicity. No evidence of ecchymosis, or lesions.” This allows the grader to understand the things you are assessing. The use of normal will result in point deductions. Do not document things you did not assess! Rubric So what am looking for is a sample documentation of a Physical Head to Toe Exam on a Healthy adult who came in for a wellness check.
