1. Imagine you work at a large clinic and your medical director gave you this intake to review for feedback and return to her. This has been created by consolidating the intake forms we received from several clinicians. Post what you believe can be improved. What is in excess? Why is this question in there? When is this intake given
at the first visit or prior to making an apppointment? What is the PERFECT length (either by pages or length of time to fill out) for intake paperwork?
[PLEASE NOTE: This weeks discussion is just a beginning/ initial thoughts/ things that jump out at you. Dont feel like you have to correct it all. Truly imagine us all in one classroom having a collegial conversation.]
2. If you saw finger or digitial clubbing in practice, what would you be doing? Well, youd be using whatever anthropometric tests are available to you, asking about lung and heart symptoms, following up on medical history of such things (maybe they already know they have emphysema), checking out red blood cell and oxygenation biomarkers (looking for anemia), and getting dietary intake information.
Now, its your turn. Find us another physical sign (something you can see when you look at the client) and bring it to the attention of your classmates. What would you do if you saw the sign you are bringing to us? Have fun with it! Dont be overwhelmed. We are just exploring!
