(3 pоints) I hаd а quаlity discussiоn with a current 2nd year student оn Thursday a few weeks ago in Ortho Class. She mentioned that she felt the "need to do every single screening test on the planet" before she felt comfortable going into more directed assessments for physical therapy oriented impairments. I argued that one of the whole purposes of Systems Screening is to help you be more aware of all the possibilities that exist that can go wrong for our patients and to sense when we need to do more specific testing. Plus, when you need to do specific testing, you are ready to do them as part of the physical assessment. So, below is your case scenario to see how you are doing on this? Your role: Student clinician at downtown clinic in Bismarck ND. Patient arrives 5 minutes late to clinic for evaluation. Patient appears slightly short of breath but smiles at you as you walk back to the treatment room. Below is the conversation you have with the 55 yo male patient. Pt: "I'm sorry I'm late. It was such a beautiful day outside I thought I'd walk before therapy today. I live about two and a half blocks away northeast of here. The lilacs are blooming and smell so wonderful. The pink ones seem to be opening up before the white or purple ones this year. Anyway, I'm supposed to fill out this sheet before I come in and here you go." You the clinician: "Excellent. What brings you in today?" Pt: "I've been having some neck pain when I've been driving when I check my blind spot on the left side. At first I thought it was just a muscle strain, but it doesn't seem to help if I rub the muscle. Now that I'm sitting down, I need to go to the restroom. I simply drank too much coffee this morning with my toast and orange." At this point the your CI meets you outside Lab exam room #3 as he is walking to the bathroom with no gait deviations. "I need you to check everything before you get started. I have this laundry list of items to check, I want you to check each one. I also have a list of 97 questions to ask as we should ask each time we see a patient." You look at the sheet and it has 5000 different things to check...every test we have talked about in screening from 1st, 2nd, and upcoming 3rd semester. Your response is "I don't think we need to do all this. The patient has already told us a lot by what we have observed so far." The CI's response is, "We have not learned anything yet." Assuming all the information from the patient is accurate, your detailed response to the CI is this "I am not worried about his ________ because he __________." Write 6 things we have learned about this patient for screening purposes before we have even asked a specific question. Use the sentence above to guide your answer. It can be very specific or more general observations. Bottomline, this interaction has told you a lot is normal without even having to test the patient. Feel free to draw on other classes to help you out also.
