This chapter examines fundamental skills review and assessment, and also explains how to test the students’ performance of accurate vital signs, hand washing, and taking an oral report on assigned patients per instructor’s observation. It describes benefits to students of shadowing interdisciplinary team members, and providing feedback on the student shadowing experience. The chapter discusses data collection. Information for care plans will be obtained from the physical assessment and data collected from the patient’s chart. Medications should be listed. Learning the correct method of hand washing is a must to prevent the spread of nosocomial pathogens from one patient to another. Obtaining vital signs correctly and appropriately is an important method used to monitor a patient’s health status. Students should learn the appropriate way to assess pulses, respiratory status and rate, temperature, and blood pressure. Bathing the patient allows the nurse to perform an in-depth skin assessment.
