Template: Taking Patient Chief Complaints: OPQRST Framework

Video: How I gives students the opportunity to practice taking chief complaints from patients using the OPQRST framework 

 

Detailed Walkthrough

Jennifer uses Lucid to give students the opportunity to put into practice what they are learning about the OPQRST patient assessment process.  Using this template students are able to visually see and practice each of the steps in the correct order.

 

Students start by reading through the patient intake summary.  Then, the students pull out the answers to each of the OPQRST questions.  Jennifer uses this as a group activity, but it can also be done independently as well.
