    Topic 3

    SHARING OBSERVATION

    Instructional objective
    The students are expected to be able to act out a conversation of helping a patient in
    identifying his health problem(s).

    A nurse can make observations by commenting on how the patient looks, sounds, or
    acts. Observations about the appearance, manner, or behavior of patients can help draw
    attention to areas that might pose a problem for them. For examples, a nurse says, “You
    look tired” or “I haven’t seen you eating anything today”. Observing that they look tired
    may prompt patients to explain why they haven’t been getting much sleep lately.
    Meanwhile, making an observation that they haven’t been eating much may lead to the
    discovery of a new symptom.
    Glossaries
    Observation (n) : the condition of one that is observed
    Symptom (n) : subjective evidence of disease or physical disturbance
