Section 1. Introduction
Introduction
Goals of G-OSTE Module:
1. The participants will teach more geriatric medicine on the in-patient wards by
▪ Recognizing geriatric teachable moments
▪ Becoming more comfortable teaching specific geriatric content through practice
2. The participants will improve their in-patient teaching skills by
▪ Becoming more comfortable using the One-Minute Preceptor and Stanford Clinical Teaching Principles in a simulated ward rounds environment
This module has been designed to compliment specific components of the CHAMP Curriculum and assist in the formative assessment of these geriatric medicine teaching skills on the in-patient wards.
In this Geriatrics G-OSTE (G-OSTE) Module, participants complete a 4 station teaching exercise, participating as both teachers and observers providing feedback. Each G-OSTE scenario allows the teaching participant to practice teaching both specific geriatric content and to use specific clinical teaching principles and methods taught in CHAMP: the One Minute Preceptor Method and the 7 categories of the Stanford Clinical Teaching Curriculum. The cases in this G-OSTE Module include:
1) Dementia Screening--using the Mini-Cog at the bed-side,
2) Delirium, teaching about t the door-side,
3) The Uses & Misuses of Foley Catheters, a bed-side case and
4) Good Transitions of Care, a conference-room card-flip case.
Analogous to an Observed Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), the Observed Structured Teaching Exercise (G-OSTE) is a performance-based teaching assessment, using standardized learners. This Geriatrics G-OSTE Module is based on the theory of deliberate practice and on the assessment theories of Miller and Kilpatrick.
G-OSTE’s provide an ideal framework for deliberate practice, which can be defined as an experiential teaching method for improving skill during which a motivated learner performs a well-defined task, at an appropriate level of difficultly, then receives informative feedback, and is given opportunities for repetition to correct errors and improve on the task1. The rationale for the use of deliberate practice in medical education, e.g., using G-OSTE’s (and OSCE’s), is based on adult education and cognitive psychology theory and research which has substantiated the role deliberate practice in the development of expert performance.1 A growing body of medical education research is examining the use of G-OSTE’s for accelerated teaching-skills development in both “resident-as-teacher” and faculty development programs .2-4
During an G-OSTE, participants engage in the deliberate practice of their geriatrics teaching-skills. Participants practice specific tasks, receive structured feed back from the precepting faculty, colleagues and/or from the standardized learners. The following schema is used for each individual G-OSTE exercise:
G-OSTE 1st Time Through(5-7 MIN)
(
Structured Feedback (10 MIN)
( Selection of Task(s) to Practice
G-OSTE 2nd Time Through (5-7 MIN)
(
Structured Feedback (10 MIN)
Notes on the role of the SL and the Simulated Assessment Environments:
1. This module is designed around a formative assessment approach, i.e., practice versus high stakes evaluation. As such, extensive training of Standardized Learners (SL’s), to achieve high levels of standardization, is not required. Approximately 3-4 hours of training—much of which can be done in a group setting—should be sufficient. This training should include a presentation on the 5 Micro-Skills for the 1-Minute Preceptor, a briefing on the script, a briefing on the evaluation (if any) the SL is to perform of the teacher and 3-4 run-throughs of the script.
2. The scripts are designed so that the SL presents the trigger for teaching, i.e., a door-side presentation of a patient who became delirious overnight, or bedside rounds on a patient with a Foley Catheter. After the presentation of the trigger to teach, the SL will need to engage in a certain amount of improvisation—portraying the learner as described in the case—as the teaching encounter proceeds. General guidelines are given in the cases below, but the entire encounter can obviously not be scripted. This of course means that the SL will need to have sufficient clinical knowledge and experience to represent the given clinical learner he or she is portraying. Fourth year medical students, residents, NP’s or PA’s can be used, and their appearance should be reasonably believable for the level of learner they are portraying.
3. These cases are not meant to challenge the teacher with problem behaviors or challenging attitudes from the learner.
4. Suspension of disbelief refers to making the simulated environment as realistic as possible. The cases in this module are designed to be either bedside, “door-side”, or conference room cases. The more closely you can replicate these environments the better. This includes the SL’s attire and demeanor. It is extremely important the SL’s stay “in role” during the entire exercise.
5. In general, the SL in these cases should represent an average student and one without any behavioral or attitudinal issues. It is important the SL provide the teacher opportunities to teach. If the SL is of a more advanced level of training, it is especially important they do not engage with the teacher at their actual level of training, but at the level of an average fourth year medical student. The SL’s must understand that this is not a “test” of their actual clinical skill.
6. Feedback: Common areas for improvement fro teachers include:
▪ Giving a mini-lecture versus teaching through dialogue / questioning
▪ Actually getting a commitment from the learner versus a list of options or possible answers
▪ Not correcting mistakes
▪ Not addressing the different levels of learners present

Teaching Aid(s): Mini-Cog Form with Instructions (see Section 7)
G-OSTE SL Script
Setting: Work rounds with Sub-I at patient’s bedside, new admission
Standardized Learner: 4th year medical student during sub-internship
Standardized Patient: Older Hospitalized Adult
Script: [The medical student is summarizing a new admission; either at bedside or at door-side]
The Medical Student [To Attending Summarizing Case]:
So, in summary, Mr. Jones is a 85 year-old male with a h/o CAD, A-Fib and DM, admitted for a GI-Bleed, who was supra-therapeutic on his Coumadin with an INR of 17.
Problem #1 is the GIB. We’ve transfused him 2 units and his Hg has bumped from 7.5 to 9.5. We’ve held his Coumadin and he was given Vitamin K and FFP in the ER. He’s on the schedule for a colonoscopy tomorrow, and if that’s negative, GI is recommending an EGD.
Problem #2 is the new onset A-Fib. He’s been r/o for MI; his echo shows normal LV function and some apical hypokinesis. He came in on Digoxin and his rate control is fine on that.
Problem #3 is his h/o CAD—his enzymes are normal and his ECG is unchanged.
Problem #4 is his DM—he is on a sliding scale right now while he is NPO for the GI procedures.
Problem #5 is Medication Non-Compliance. When I look back at his INRs in the computer they’re all over the place. He lives with his daughter but he says takes his own medicine. We’ll need to get social work involved here I think-- probably have a visiting nurse go out. {Stops and looks at Attending; if done at door side, should proceed into patient’s room prior to screen for dementia}
G-OSTE CASE # 1
Screening for Dementia using the Mini-Cog—a bedside case
Standardized Learner’s (SL’s) Instructions
Gender: Either
Age: appears appropriate for 4th Year medical student
Appearance: Post-Call Scrubs or Standard Professional Dress; White Coat with stuffed pockets; Stethoscope around neck; Clipboard, Cards, Binder or other patient data organizing device.
Clinical Skill & Knowledge:
Clinical Skill:
• Using the RIME format of clinical skill evaluation, SL functioning at the Interpreter level of clinical skill (see Pangaro L. Acad. Med. 1999. Nov;74(11):1203-7.)
General Medical Knowledge:
• Knowledge as expected for level of training (4th year student), in relation to the biomedical issues listed above, e.g., GI Bleeding. Able to present clearly and concisely and able to reasonably prioritize biomedical problems. SL is reasonably familiar with presenting signs, symptoms and basic differential diagnosis for these problems, but has only a beginners knowledge of management and formulation. SL is limited in ability to consider psychosocial aspects of case, e.g., importance of relationship of patient to daughter in managing medications, i.e., is able to see the trees much better than the forest: does not recognize the primary importance of assessment of cognition regarding patient’s inability to adhere to Coumadin regimen.
• The plan articulated by the SL in the above script was put together with the help of the senior resident, and if details of reasoning are probed, the SL should offer a generally limited response. The SL should not appear “clueless”, at most give only one to two supporting pieces of information on clinical reasoning probes.
Geriatrics Specific Knowledge of dementia screening:
• Diagnosis: SL is not familiar with the Mini-Cog. SL knows about MMSE but calls it the “Mental Status Exam,” and has some confusion between the purpose and nature of the MMSE versus the mental-statues Exam. Knowledge of MMSE limited and has never heard of the Mini-Cog. Knowledge regarding diagnostic accuracy during acute illness is limited.
G-OSTE CASE # 1
Screening for Dementia using the Mini-Cog—a bedside case
Standardized Patient Instructions
The purpose of this exercise is to allow the teacher to practice his or her geriatric medicine teaching skills at the bedside. Therefore, extensive history taking will not occur. The majority of the interaction in this case will consist of the teacher or student administering the dementia screening tool called the “Mini-Cog” to you.
Sufficient details of medical and psychosocial history are provided below for the purposes of this exercise. (See letter A) under “KEY POINTS”.)
CASE NAME: Dementia Screening G-OSTE
CASE CHIEF COMPLAINT: Patient not sure why in hospital—if pressed, the CC= “I think I was dizzy or something”
PRESENTING SITUATION: Not really sure why in hospital, “I guess I just got sick.”
SUMMARY OF THE CASE: You have undiagnosed Alzheimer’s Disease. You have been hospitalized for gastrointestinal bleeding because your blood became much too “thin” secondary to taking too much of you blood thinner, Coumadin. The object of the case is for the teacher to teach about screening for dementia, using the dementia screening method called the “Mini-cog.”
KEY POINTS:
A) Keeping the encounter moving.
It is critical that no more than 1 minute be spent on casual conversation or history taking or any other element besides bed-side teaching. It is equally important to keep your responses short and to not engage in lengthy statements. In the beginning of he encounter, if you feel more than 1 minute has elapsed and the teacher is not engaged in actively teaching about dementia screening or administering the Mini-Cog, you should state, “Somebody told me my memory was shot,” as a cue for the teacher to begin teaching.
B) Tips on dialogue.
Patients with early dementia often respond to questions requiring use of short-term memory in a number of different ways. Sometimes they will answer in a vague, non-specific manner; at other times, they may use a dismissive approach to the information being asked. Examples:
Question: “So what causes you to be in the hospital?”
Answer: “I was just really sick.”
Question: “In what way did you feel sick?”
Answer: “I just didn’t feel well at all.”
Question: “What did you have for breakfast this morning?”
Response: “Oh, I just had the usual things.”
Question: “So what did you eat.”
Response: “It was just what was on the menu here.”
Question: “What did you have for breakfast this morning?”
Response: “Oh, I just had the usual things.”
Question: “So what did you eat.”
Response: “Oh I really didn’t pay any attention.”
PATIENT BEHAVIOR, AFFECT, MANNERISMS: You are calm at first, but when the subject of memory testing comes up, you are mildly apprehensive, but fully cooperative, You are frustrated when you can’t remember all the words or draw the clock correctly. If the term “dementia” is used, you become very apprehensive and defensive, and reluctant (but still willing) to cooperate.
PATIENT APPEARANCE: Should be in a gown, draped with a sheet or blanket, lying down, on an exam table (to simulate a hospital bed), or in a hospital bed if one is available in your center.
HISTORY OF THE PRESENT ILLNESS:
Chief Complaint/Reason for Visit or Admission: You are not sure why you were hospitalized, but do remember feeling sick and dizzy. All of your responses to any medical history questions, such as, “What caused you to be in the hospital?”,” should include vague statements and also include statements such as “As best I remember,” or “I think it was…,” etc…You currently feel fine.
Onset: “I think it was a few days ago, as best I remember.”
Duration: “That’s hard to say”
Location: DNA
Character: “Just didn’t feel good.”
Radiation: DNA
Intensity: DNA
Meaning of the illness: You believe any errors in medication is the fault of the pharmacy.
FUNCTIONAL HISTORY: You believe you are completely independent in ADL’s and IADL’s, though you let your daughter do the shopping, meal preparation and housework, because, “that’s the way she likes it.” YOU MANAGE YOUR OWN MEDICATION AND BELIEVE YOU HAVE ABSOLIUTELY NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS.
PSYCHO SOCIAL HISTORY:
Educational Background: I went to teacher’s college
Married or Single: Widowed
If married, how many years? “A long time”
Spouse Name = Alice or Allen; married “a long time”
Any Children? 2 daughters
Any Grandchildren ? “Yes” “Oh too many to remember”
Where do you live? Own home & daughter lives with you
Occupation: Retired (use an occupation with which you are familiar)
G-OSTE CASE # 1
Screening for Dementia using the Mini-Cog—a bedside case
SP Instructions for Responses on the Mini-Cog Exam
The instrument used for dementia screening in this case is called the “Mini-Cog.”
I consists of a memory test and a drawing test. The teacher or student will ask you to repeat three words and remember them, then draw a clock and set the hands to a specific time, and then remember the 3 words. Further details of the test, including the scoring are provided after these instructions—see next page.)
YOU SHOULD PERFORM IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER ON THE MINI-COG TEST.
1. When first asked to repeat the three words (ball. penny, tree), you should repeat all three correctly, and then say, “Is that what you said?”
2. When asked to draw the clock, you should draw (approximately) the following figure:
3. When asked to remember the 3 words, you should repeat only one of the three.
G-OSTE SP MATERIALS
G-OSTE CASE # 1
Screening for Dementia using the Mini-Cog—a bedside case
The Mini-Cog Assessment Instrument for Dementia
The Mini-Cog assessment instrument combines an uncued 3-item recall test with a clock-drawing test (CDT). The Mini-Cog can be administered in about 3 minutes, requires no special equipment, and is relatively uninfluenced by level of education or language variations.
Administration
The test is administered as follows:
1. Instruct the patient to listen carefully to and remember 3 unrelated words (e.g., Ball, Penny, Tree) and then to repeat the words.
2. Instruct the patient to draw the face of a clock, either on a blank sheet of paper, or on a sheet with the clock circle already drawn on the page. After the patient puts the numbers on the clock face, ask him or her to draw the hands of the clock to read a specific time, such as 11:20. These instructions can be repeated, but no additional instructions should be given. Give the patient as much time as needed to complete the task. The CDT serves as the recall distracter.
3. Ask the patient to repeat the 3 previously presented words.
Scoring
Give 1 point for each recalled word after the CDT distracter.
Score 1–3.
▪ A score of O indicates positive screen for dementia.
▪ A score of 1 or 2 with an abnormal CDT indicates positive screen for dementia.
▪ A score of 1 or 2 with a normal CDT indicates negative screen for dementia.
▪ A score of 3 indicates negative screen for dementia.
The CDT is considered normal if all numbers are present in the correct sequence and position, and the hands readably display the requested time.

CLOCK DRAW TEST
1) Inside the circle, please draw the hours of a clock as they normally appear
2) Place the hands of the clock to represent the time: “ten minutes after eleven o’clock”

G-OSTE CASE # 1
Screening for Dementia using the Mini-Cog—a bedside case
(Teacher’s Preparatory Material: to be given to the teachers 1-2 days prior to the G-OSTE exercise and to be used as a door-chart.)
TEACHER’S DOOR CHART
CASE DESCRITION: This will be a door-side to bed-side teaching case. The purpose of the case is for you to practice teaching about screening for dementia using the Mini-Cog. You will be working with a 4th year sub-I, and a Standardized Patient will also participate in this case.
YOUR TEAM: Rounding with Sub-Intern
PATIENT: Mr. or Mrs. Jackson, admitted for supra-therapeutic Coumadin level and GIB requiring transfusion. There is a h/o “medication non-compliance”
SETTING: Attending Rounds at Doorside. One option is to explain the mini-cog at the door-side, and then have the intern try it at the bed-side. Another option would be to explain the Mini-Cog at the door-side and then demonstrate it yourself at the bed-side.
TEACHING TOOLS: The Mini-Cog Instrument and Clock Drawing Forms will be provided. Handout these out if you like.
TEACHER’S TASK:
1. Practice teaching about screening for dementia using the mini-cog, using the 5 Micro-skills of the One-Minute Preceptor Model and Stanford Clinical Teaching Principles
2. Attempt to recognize additional geriatrics teachable moments.
TIME ALLOTTED: You have approximately 7 minutes for each of your two teaching encounters in this exercise.
G-OSTE CASE # 1
Screening for Dementia using the Mini-Cog—a bedside case
A) PRINCIPLE GERIATRIC CONTENT:
Dementia Screening Teachable Moment
▪ Does the patient have dementia?
▪ Could teach about the Mini-Cog and MMSE.
▪ Could teach about value of history from daughter.
▪ Demonstrate Use of the Mini-Cog
▪ Describe Mini-Cog and ask Learner to administer & give feedback
B) OTHER POTENTIAL GERIATRIC TEACHABLE MOMENTS (You should focus on the above, but there are several additional teachable moments which you can help the teacher recognize.)
1. What are the patient’s goals for his own care? If he has Colon Cancer, would he want surgery and/or chemotherapy? What is his current life expectancy? Could teach about individualized decision making concepts.
2.Does the patient have capacity to consent to the GI procedures. If he’s confused about his meds, could he have dementia or be impaired so as to not be able to understand or reason through this situation ? Could teach about capacity assessment
3. Digoxin—is this the best drug, given he is already on another potential dangerous drug = Coumadin. What are the indications for Dig in an 85 yo man? What are the side effects of Dig? Is cardioversion a consideration?
4. “Non-Compliance”—Does this language de-humanize or cast the patient in an adversarial light?
C) HELP THE FACULTY LEARNER IDENTIFY GERIATRIC CONTENT AND AN ASPECT OF THE 5 MICROSKILLS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ON FOR THE SECOND TIME THROUGH.
One-Minute Preceptor Micro-Skills
1. Getting a Commitment—Learner verbally commits to an aspect of the case
• What do you think is going on with this patient?
• What other diagnoses would you consider?
• Based on that history, what parts of the physical should we focus on?
2. Probing for Supporting Evidence—question which seeks to explore reasoning and rationale
• What factors in the history and physical support your diagnosis?
• Why would you/ did you choose that particular medication?
3. Reinforcing What Was Done Right
▪ Comments should include specific behaviors that demonstrated knowledge, skills or attitudes valued by the preceptor
4. Correcting Mistakes: often the most difficult to do
▪ “will help” “it is preferred” “not best” “will be better” are less extreme than “bad” “poor”
▪ comments must be specific to the situation and to knowledge, skills or attitudes of the learner
▪ comments must give guidance or alternative behavior
▪ “At some point complete PFT’s may be helpful, but right now the patient is acutely ill and PFT’s would not reflect her baseline and be difficult for the patient, so the better course would be a peak flow and pulse–ox monitoring
5. Teach General Rules
• In this case, in addition to the dementia screening technique ( the Mini-Cog) other general rules could include
• Situations in which one needs to consider screening for dementia
• The applicability of the Mini-Cog to an acutely ill hospitalized elder
• Can also note
▪ Important not to give a Mini-Lecture
▪ 2-3 minutes at most
▪ importance of a general rule being general, i.e., should be able to apply to other cases

2. The faculty-learner will identify one content area and/or one skill step for improvement and practice after Feedback 1.
3. The faculty-learner will articulate two (or more) options for geriatrics teachable moments.
Teaching Aid: May use Delirium Card, including passing out delirium card to learners as part of teaching
G-OSTE SL Script
Setting: Work Rounds at Door-Side--Outside of Patient’s Room
Standardized Learners: Senior Resident and Intern
Standardized Patient: None
[The Intern is presenting the patient on work rounds at the Dorr-Side]
The Intern [To Attending]: OK, so this is our 80 year old man with Parkinson’s, admitted with an aspiration pneumonia. He also has a history of CAD, dementia and diabetes. We’ve been broadly covering him and using a sliding scale for his diabetes. X-cover was called last night about a confusion episode…he was trying to pull out his Foley, so they gave him a milligram of Ativan and ordered a posey, mitts and prn soft restraints. They didn’t get called again, so he apparently did fine the rest of the night. This morning he’s a bit lethargic, but really doesn’t seem that far off his base-line. He’s been doing generally well. He’s been afebrile for 24-hours. Today he’s 36.7 140/65 84 20 and 96% on RA. He seems to be sundowning. [To Resident] Perhaps we should put him on some standing Haldol or resperidone?
Resident: [To Intern and Attending] I’m not sure that Ativan was really the best choice last night. I agree Haldol is better. The benzo’s are associated with delirium and delirious patients always do worse and end up staying longer. The last thing we want to do to him or us is to turn this poor old guy into a rock—the sooner we get him back home the better.
G-OSTE CASE #2
Teaching about Delirium—A Door-Side Case
Standardized Learner’s Instructions
SL’s for this case: Senior Resident & Intern
Gender: Either
Age: appears appropriate for level of training
Appearance:
Both--Standard Professional Dress with Stethoscopes
Intern--White Coat with equipment / cards/ manuals in pockets; Clipboard, Cards, Binder or other patient data organizing device.
Clinical Skill & Knowledge:
Clinical Skill: Using the RIME format of clinical skill evaluation (see Pangaro L. Acad. Med. 1999. Nov;74(11):1203-7.)
• Intern: functioning at the Reporter level of clinical skill
• Resident: functioning at the Educator level
General Medical Knowledge:
• Intern: below average for level of training. Able to present clearly and concisely and able to prioritize biomedical problems, but seems limited in knowledge and evidences insecurity in own knowledge, clinical reasoning and plan formulation. SL is familiar with presenting signs, symptoms, but has limited differential diagnosis ability and rudimentary ability to formulate a plan independently. The intern should not appear totally “clueless”, but at most should give only one to two supporting pieces of information when questioned.
Geriatrics Specific Knowledge of Delirium:
• Risk Assessment: Limited Knowledge—one item at most
• Diagnosis: Delirium is equated with confusion and agitation. Does not know how to formally diagnose delirium and does not know about the CAM.
• Assessment: Knows that medications are an important consideration
• Plan: believes need to “wait out” resolution of underlying problem and/or primary treatment = medications. Does not recognize potential urgent nature of new delirium. Believes delirium is “par-for-the-course” in frail hospitalized older adults.

Intern: So Mrs. Smith is hospital day #4. She was transferred to us from the MICU two days ago. Her active problems are CHF and COPD exacerbation. She had to be BIPAP’d the first 24 hours in the unit because she was retaining and her sats took a while to come up. She responded well to diuresis and steroids, and she’s been off of Bi-Pap for 24 hours and is doing well. Her other problems are diabetes, A-Fib, DJD, and GERD. She’s on lasix 60 bid, Prednisone 60, lisinopril, dilt, glyburide, aspirin, SQ heparin, and prilosec. She was 1440 in and 2400 out.
Resident: I was going to continue the IV Lasix one more day and then switch to p.o. She still has mild crackles at the bases. [To the patient] Mrs. Smith, how is your breathing? Have you been up out of bed?
Patient: My breathing is OK. I haven’t been out of bed because I’m all hooked up to these things.

G-OSTE CASE #3
The Foley Catheter: Indications & Inability to Void
G-OSTE SP MATERIALS
The purpose of this exercise is to allow the teacher to practice his or her geriatric medicine teaching skills at the bedside. Therefore, extensive history taking will not occur. The majority of the interaction in this case will consist of the teacher and students having a teaching dialogue about uses and misuses of the Foley Catheter.
Sufficient details of medical and psychosocial history are provided below, most of which you will not need for the purposes of this exercise. (See letter A) under “KEY POINTS”.)
CASE NAME: Uses & Misuses of the Foley Catheter
EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Foley Catheter and Bag, Yellow Food Coloring, O2 nasal Cannula and Tubing, IV Bag and Tubing, IV Pole, Paper Tape
CASE CHIEF COMPLAINT: Hospitalized because of shortness of breath
PRESENTING SITUATION: Progressive shortness of breath and leg swelling
SUMMARY OF THE CASE: The point of this case is for the teacher to teach about the indications, uses and misuses of the Foley Catheter. You will have a Foley Catheter taped to your leg. You have serious emphysema and mild congestive heart failure for which you have been hospitalized. You were hospitalized 4 days ago for shortness of breath and spent two days in the intensive care unit. You were transferred fro the ICU to the general medicine ward two days ago and are feeling much better. You have been given diuretic medications to remove excess fluid from your body, oxygen, steroids and “breathing treatments” (inhaled medication).
KEY POINTS:
▪ Keeping the encounter moving.
At the beginning of the encounter, it is critical that no more than 1 minute be spent on casual conversation or history taking. It is equally important to keep your responses short and to not engage in lengthy statements. In the beginning of the encounter, if you feel more than 1 minute has elapsed and the teacher is not engaged in actively teaching about dementia screening or administering the Mini-Cog, you should state, “Somebody told me my memory was shot,” as a cue for the teacher to begin teaching.
PATIENT BEHAVIOR, AFFECT, MANNERISMS: You are feeling much better and appear comfortable. You are pleasant. You are cognitively intact.
PATIENT APPEARANCE: Should be in a gown, draped with a sheet or blanket, lying down, on an exam table (to simulate a hospital bed), or in a hospital bed if one is available in your center. The SP should have a Foley Taped to inner thigh, with the Foley Bag full of water + yellow food coloring to simulate urine; may also tape an i.v. to arm and have oxygen cannula in nose.
HISTORY OF THE PRESENT ILLNESS:
Chief Complaint/Reason for Visit or Admission: About a week prior to admission you experienced increasing shortness of breath: first with usual activities and then progressing until you were short-of-breath with rest. At the same time your lower legs, ankle and feet were “swelling.” You had a mild cough, especially at night when you would lie down. You also experienced increasing problems lying flat at night and needed to prop yourself up on 4 pillows to be comfortable breathing. No chest pain, or productive or purulent cough, but you did have some wheezing. Your “puffers” helped at first but then became less effective.
Onset: about 1 week prior to admission
Duration: 1 week
Location: DNA
Character: Progressive Shortness of Breath
Radiation: DNA
Intensity: Progressive until so bad had to come to ER
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:
1) Emphysema—diagnosed about 7-8 years ago
2) “Heart Problems” (Congestive Heart Failure)—diagnosed 3 years ago
3) High Blood Pressure
4) Diabetes
NO HISTORY OF URINARY INCONTINENCE OR ANY TYPE OF URINARY PROBLEMS
PSYCHO SOCIAL HISTORY:
Educational Background: completed college
Married or Single: Widowed
If married, how many years? 45
Spouse Name John or Jane; married 45 years
Any Children? 2 sons & 1 daughter
Any Grandchildren ? 5
Where do you live? Live alone in own home in Hyde Park
Occupation: Retired (use an occupation with which you are familiar)
FUNCTIONAL HISTORY: INDEPENDENT IN ADL’S & IADL’S
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: NONE
G-OSTE CASE #3
The Foley Catheter: Indications & Inability to Void
(Teacher’s Preparatory Material: to be given to the teachers 1-2 days prior to the G-OSTE exercise and to be used as a door-chart.)
TEACHER’S DOOR CHART
CASE DESCRIPTION: This will be a bed-side teaching case. The purpose of this case is to practice teaching about the uses and misuses of the Foley Catheter in hospitalized vulnerable elders. You should also attempt to recognize other geriatric teachable moments that may be present. Particularly helpful to review would be “Indications for Foley Catheter Use” under the “Bedside Teaching Trigger.”
YOUR TEAM: Intern and Resident
PATIENT: Mr. or Mrs. Johnson, admitted 4 days ago to the MICU with CHF and COPD exacerbation. She has been on your team for two days and is improving.
SETTING: Attending Rounds at the Bedside. The exercise will commence with you and the team entering the room.
TEACHING TOOLS: Foley 3X5 Card—may also pass copies out to student as part of teaching
TEACHER’S TASK:
1. Practice teaching about the uses and misuses of the Foley Catheter in the hospitalized vulnerable Elder, using the 5 Micro-skills of the One-Minute Preceptor Model and Stanford Clinical Teaching Principles
2. Attempt to recognize additional geriatrics teachable moments.
TIME ALLOTTED: You have approximately 5-7 minutes for each of your two teaching encounters
G-OSTE CASE #3
The Foley Catheter: Indications & Inability to Void
Feedback Guidelines
A. Geriatric Teachable Moments:
1. Why is this patient catheterized?
2. What are the indications for a Foley Catheter?
3. Why should Foley catheter use be minimized?
4. Who should be discharged with a Foley catheter?
5. How would you trouble shoot leakage around Foley Catheters?
6. How would you manage a Foley catheter pulled out by a patient?
B. Other Potential Geriatric Teachable Moments to note in feedback
1. Appropriateness of referring to patients as “dear.”
2. Planning for Good Transitions of Care
3. Falls
C. ASK THE FACULTY LEARNER TO IDENTIFY AN ITEM OF GERIATRIC CONTENT AND AN ASPECT OF THE 5 MICROSKILLS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ON FOR THE SECOND TIME THROUGH.
One-Minute Preceptor Micro-Skills
1. Get a Commitment—Learner verbally commits to an aspect of the case
• What do you think is going on with this patient?
• What other diagnoses would you consider?
• Based on that history, what parts of the physical should we focus on?
2. Probe for Supporting Evidence—question which seeks to explore reasoning and rationale
• What factors in the history and physical support your diagnosis?
• Why would you/ did you choose that particular medication?
3. Reinforce What Was Done Right
▪ Comments should include specific behaviors that demonstrated knowledge, skills or attitudes valued by the preceptor
4. Correct Mistakes: often the most difficult to do
▪ “will help” “it is preferred” “not best” “will be better” are less extreme than “bad” “poor”
▪ comments must be specific to the situation and to knowledge, skills or attitudes of the learner
▪ comments must give guidance or alternative behavior
▪ “At some point complete PFT’s may be helpful, but right now the patient is acutely ill and PFT’s would not reflect her baseline and be difficult for the patient, so the better course would be a peak flow and pulse–ox monitoring
5. Teach General Rules
▪ Important not to give a Mini-Lecture
▪ 2-3 minutes at most
▪ importance of a general rule being general, i.e., should be able to apply to other cases

Setting: Card-Flip at Conference Table
Standardized Learners: Intern and Senior Resident
Teaching Aid(s): Transitions of Care Pocket Card
G-OSTE SL Script:
Resident: OK, how about Mr. Jones, do you think he’s still ready for discharge today?
Intern (to resident and attending): Yeah, I think he’s ready. Mr. Jones is our 76 y/o admitted with a GIB and high Coumadin level. His Mini-Cog was off and we think he may have some dementia. The med-student checked his MMSE and it was 19. His Coumadin is at 2mg day and he’s back to therapeutic now. His colonoscopy and EGD were unremarkable and his Hg has been stable. We’ve adjusted his other meds--he’s back on his usual meds of lisinopril, lasix, atenolol and glyburide. We increased his Atenolol to 50 a day, and made his Lasix bid. We added spironolactone and Lipitor as well. His Cr is 1.7, his BG’s are all in the low 100s; he’s oxygenating OK and his Hgb is 9.5. His lungs are clear and he’s been eating OK.
Resident: What about his mental status?
Intern: His family seems to think he is at his baseline—the student did a MMSE yesterday. He was 19 out of 30—We think he has some dementia or effect of hospitalization. He’s definitely not delirious.
Resident: So, what’s your discharge plan?
Intern: We’ll send him home on his out-patient regimen and he has a follow-up appointment with cards. He lives in a Senior building and his daughter lives near-by and is involved. She will check on him. I’ve written out a med-list for him. Social work has been involved and PY and OT have seen him and recommend just home PT. (To Attending) I’m not sure what else we can do.

To be used as a general set of guidelines for those giving feedback to the teachers.
Section 5.
Preceptor’s Guidelines
PLEASE KEEP YOU EYE ON THE CLOCK…IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU LEAVE TIME FOR A SECOND RUN THROUGH WITH FEEDBACK & DISCUSSION !!
▪ These are meant to be brief teaching encounters, as one might expect during a busy day of rounding on patients. The teaching encounter itself should not be allowed to exceed 5-7 minutes, and the feedback / discussion should not exceed 10 minutes.
▪ Total Allotted Time for each G-OTES Station = 30 minutes
1. First Interaction Feedback & Discussion: (15 Minutes)
▪ 5-7 Minutes for Scenario and 10 Minutes for Feedback
▪ Ask “learner” for self-reflection on performance. Sample questions:
o How did it go? What went well?
o What were the geriatrics teachable moments you identified?
o What micro skill were you focusing on?
o How comfortable were you with trying out the geriatric topic and One Minute Preceptor method?
o How comfortable were you with using the “tool?”
o What would you like to work on?
▪ Ask observer and standardized learner for comments.
▪ Have the teacher commit to a micro skill or SFDP Principle and piece of geriatric content he/she plans on addressing in the “re-take.”
o The idea here is to practice something new and/or uncomfortable, not to demonstrate what one can already do well
o Encourage the teacher to “stretch”
2. Second Interaction (re-take): (15 Minutes)
▪ 5-7 Minutes for Scenario and 10 Minutes for Feedback
▪ Ask “learner” for self-reflection on performance. Sample questions:
o How did it go this time? What did you do differently?
o How did it seem to work?
o How comfortable were you with trying out the geriatric topic and One Minute Preceptor method?
o How comfortable were you with using the “tool?”
▪ Observer and SL comments
▪ Ask the Teacher and Observer to each name one or two things they have learned as result of this practice
Section 6. Teaching Aids
The pocket cards are laid out to facilitate two sided copying. Two copies of Side 1 of the card will be on the first page, and two copies of Side 2 of the card will be on the second page. By making a two-sided reproduction of these two pages (i.e., Side Two on the back of Side One), you can then cut a single sheet to produce two cards

–Inter-facility: paperwork; direct phone call
3. Core information elements:
• Medical needs
–Summary of admitting problems and course
–Active Problem list and allergies
–Recent important and pending labs
–Reconciled Med List (admit meds and all changes)
–Advance directives: DPOA-HC, preferences, goals
• Functional support (ADL, IADL)
–Disposition: where from and where next
–Functional status: baseline and present
–Social support and contact info
• Nursing needs: monitoring (BP, DM, CHF), wounds, Ivs
• Rehabilitative needs: PT, OT, speech

The Mini-Cog Assessment Instrument for Dementia
The Mini-Cog assessment instrument combines an uncued 3-item recall test with a clock-drawing test (CDT). The Mini-Cog can be administered in about 3 minutes, requires no special equipment, and is relatively uninfluenced by level of education or language variations.
Administration
The test is administered as follows:
1. Instruct the patient to listen carefully to and remember 3 unrelated words (e.g., Ball, Penny, Tree) and then to repeat the words.
2. Instruct the patient to draw the face of a clock, either on a blank sheet of paper, or on a sheet with the clock circle already drawn on the page. After the patient puts the numbers on the clock face, ask him or her to draw the hands of the clock to read a specific time, such as 11:20. These instructions can be repeated, but no additional instructions should be given. Give the patient as much time as needed to complete the task. The CDT serves as the recall distracter.
3. Ask the patient to repeat the 3 previously presented words.
Scoring
Give 1 point for each recalled word after the CDT distracter.
Score 1–3.
▪ A score of O indicates positive screen for dementia.
▪ A score of 1 or 2 with an abnormal CDT indicates positive screen for dementia.
▪ A score of 1 or 2 with a normal CDT indicates negative screen for dementia.
▪ A score of 3 indicates negative screen for dementia.
The CDT is considered normal if all numbers are present in the correct sequence and position, and the hands readably display the requested time.

CLOCK DRAW TEST
1) Inside the circle, please draw the hours of a clock as they normally appear
2) Place the hands of the clock to represent the time: “ten minutes after eleven o’clock”
