Core Skills Training
Performing Patient Rounding
As part of this open scenario, the learner is expected to communicate with the patient and enquire about their health conditions. The learner will perform hand sanitization and check the patient’s vitals, educate the patient on basic information regarding call lights, bed and TV control etc., and perform a head-to-toe examination. The learner will go on to enquire about the patient’s medication, answer queries related to it and ensure the bed is positioned at a comfortable height for the patient to reach the call light. Before leaving the room, the learner will perform hand hygiene and thank the patient and caregiver.
All necessary affordances are made available to learners to help them complete the process with efficiency.
