Bedside Exam Techniques Quiz

Bedside Exam

• Doctors will communicate findings during patient testing; aim to accurately write down unfamiliar terms.
• If unsure about pronunciation of a word, note it and ask the doctor for clarification post-exam.
• Respectfully request repeated information if completely uncertain about a term.
• Avoid contradictory notes; if a test result is graded as G3 (grade 3), do not record it as WNL (within normal limits).
• Scribing will become easier with practice and familiarity with medical vocabulary and doctors' methodologies.

Vital Signs

• Vital signs to be recorded on patient exam day include blood pressure (measured on both sides, while sitting, supine, and standing).
• Document heart rate while the patient is sitting, supine, and standing.
• Measure and record oxygen saturation (left and right side).
• Record patient height and weight; if weight is unknown, leave that field blank temporarily.

Reflex App

• Use an iPad mini to access the Reflex app and create a new patient profile.
• Ensure a well-lit environment for testing; instruct the patient to fix their gaze at a distant point.
• Cover the left eye while directing the iPad towards the right eye; maintain an unobstructed view for the patient.
• Capture data for the right eye, then repeat the process for the left eye after switching sides.
• Present the captured data to the doctor during the examination.

Post-Exam

• Following the physical exam, patients will schedule a Report of Findings session.
• Doctors will deliver diagnostic results and propose a recommended treatment plan.
• If patients agree with the proposed treatment, the NeuroRestoration program will commence.
