Digital Clinical Experience: Assessing The Heart Discussion 2<\/p>\n
In order to adequately assess the chest region of a patient, nurses need to be aware of a patient\u2019s history, potential abnormal findings, and what physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted to determine the causes and severity of abnormalities.<\/p>\n
In this DCE Assignment, you will conduct a focused exam related to chest pain using the simulation too, Shadow Health. Consider how a patient\u2019s initial symptoms can result in very different diagnoses when further assessment is conducted.<\/p>\n
Take a moment to observe your breathing. Notice the sensation of your chest expanding as air flows into your lungs. Feel your chest contract as you exhale. How might this experience be different for someone with chronic lung disease or someone experiencing an asthma attack?<\/p>\n

\nDigital Clinical Experience: Heart Assessment 2<\/p>\n
To properly examine a patient’s chest, nurses must be aware of their history, any abnormal findings, and the appropriate physical exams and diagnostic procedures to determine the reasons and degree of abnormalities.<\/p>\n
In this DCE Assignment, you will also use Shadow Health to conduct a targeted Assessment on chest pain. Consider how a patient’s early symptoms might lead to wildly divergent diagnosis.<\/p>\n
Observe your breathing for a while. Feel your chest expand as air enters your lungs. Exhale with your chest contracted. How may this alter for someone with chronic lung illness or an asthma attack?<\/p>\n
