Shadow Health Physical Assessment Assignment Guidelines and Grading Rubric Purpose In order to provide high quality healthcare to patients, FNP students must possess competency regarding advanced ... practice physical assessment skills and techniques. The Shadow Health Physical Assessment Assignments allow the student to interact with virtual patients in a standardized virtual learning environment which simulates real life clinical experiences in order to achieve weekly learning objectives, course outcomes, and program outcomes. Competence is the observable ability of a health professional to integrate knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes. Competency is more than the attainment of skills; it involves other qualities such as attitudes, motives, personal insightfulness, interpretive ability, receptivity, maturity, and selfassessment. Since competencies are observable, they can be measured and assessed to ensure their acquisition. Course Outcomes These activities are guided by the following Course Outcomes (COs): 1. Apply advanced practice nursing knowledge to collecting health history information and physical examination findings for various patient populations. (PO 1, 2) 2. Differentiate normal and abnormal health history and physical examination findings. (PO 1, 2) 3. Document health history and physical examination findings in a logical and organized sequence. (PO 1, 2) 4. Adapt health history and physical examination skills to the developmental, gender-related, age-specific, and special population needs of the individual patient. (PO 1, 2) 5. Conduct focused and comprehensive health histories and examinations for various patient populations. (PO 1, 2) The purposes of the Shadow Health Physical Assessment Assignments are to: (a) increase knowledge and understanding of advanced practice physical assessment skills and techniques, (b) conduct focused and comprehensive histories and physical assessments for various patient populations, (c) adapt or modify your physical assessment skills and techniques to suit the individual needs of the patient, (d) apply assessment skills and techniques to gather subjective and objective data, (e) differentiate normal from abnormal physical examination findings, (f) summarize, organize, and appropriately document findings using correct professional terminology, (g) practice developing primary and differential diagnoses, (h) practice creating treatment plans which include diagnostics, medication, education, consultation/referral, and follow-up planning; and (i) analyze and reflect on own performance to gain insight and foster knowledge.

Students must achieve a minimum Digital Clinical Experience (DCE) score for each physical assessment assignment in order to meet the requirements for the assignment 13. You will have a maximum of three (3) attempts to achieve the minimum threshold for each physical assessment assignment during Weeks 1-7 or to improve your DCE score. However, students may elect not to repeat any assignment if the minimum threshold was met. Points on the grading rubric for the DCE score will be applied accordingly by the course instructor. Please refer to the grading rubric category descriptions below for details. 14. Some students may achieve the minimum requirement with one attempt; however, most students will require additional attempts. Be sure to allow adequate time to repeat each physical assessment assignment if necessary before the assignment due date. Time management and achieving the minimum DCE score are the responsibilities of each student.
