NSC 325L- Medical Nutrition Therapy Lab

NFPE Patient Simulation

50 Points

Name: ____________________________________

Part I: Video Evaluation

View the video demonstration of a nutrition assessment in this week’s content page. This video was recorded in the simulation laboratory at the Arizona Simulation Technology and Education Center on the UA campus and the visit was performed with a high-fidelity simulator. The patient has been diagnosed with failure to thrive and dehydration. The RDN has received a consult to assess the patient for malnutrition due to weight loss.

After reviewing the video identify what was done incorrectly during the interaction. What should the RDN have done differently? Was the technique correct? How did the interview go? Was the RDN’s description of the findings accurate? If not, provide the correct description. Did the RDN miss anything?

Here is a list of things to consider when evaluating the video:

Did the RDN …

· Greet and introduce themselves?

· Address the client?

· Clearly explain the nature and purpose of the consult?

· Establish rapport?

· Provide a clear explanation of the NFPE?

· Obtain consent for interview and NFPE?

· Ask appropriate questions to supplement data provided in the case?

· Use open ended questions when appropriate?

· Actively listen to the client and show empathy?

· Demonstrate a respectful, non-judgmental approach?

· Consider and explore the patient’s culture, values, and beliefs?

· Communicate appropriately verbally and non-verbally?

· Continue to build rapport with patient?

· Conduct the NFPE smoothly?

· From head to toe without jumping back and forth from different areas?

· Include all components of NFPE?

· Demonstrate appropriate technique?

· Accurately identify regions for examination and palpation?

· Ask appropriate questions to supplement exam as needed?

· Communicate appropriately with patient during the exam?

· Identifies abnormal findings to address with care team and/or patient?

· Express appreciation?

· Summarize findings?

· Ask if patient has questions/comments?

· Provide a plan for follow-up?
