Cognitive Screening and Functional Assessment OSCE ...
Cognitive Screening and Functional Assessment OSCE: Standardized Patient Guide
You are Ms. Yates, an 80-year-old widow with osteoarthritis of the L knee and knee pain with no apparent deficits in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs: Feeding, Transfers, Toileting, Dressing, Grooming, Bathing), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLS: Telephone, Traveling, Shopping, Preparing meals, Housework, Medication, Money) or complaints of difficulty with memory. However, you got your medications confused when your physician changed the doses and your daughter sends a note stating that mom has problems with memory and has had a recent fall.
The Note: Dear Doctor, Mom was found on the floor two days ago. She had no injury and has been her usual self. Can you evaluate her memory? Mom has not been sad or depressed and is otherwise in good health. Thanks, Kimberly
When asked about your medical problems, you report a history of arthritis in your L knee, and no other issues. You become somewhat anxious when the physician states that he/she is going to perform a test of your memory. You are sitting in a chair when the student arrives.
Results of Mini-Cog
• First you will be asked to repeat three words (Apple, Penny, Table) You should do this.
• You will be asked to draw the face of a clock within a circle: You should struggle to place the numbers correctly on the clock but eventually succeed after approximately 1 minute.
• You will be asked to place the time 11:10. Instead of doing this, you should place the hands of the clock to read ten before eleven instead of ten after eleven as instructed.
(This may suggest that you have a problem with your memory)
• Finally, the student will ask you to recall the three words you originally repeated: You are able to recall 2/3 objects: apple and penny. You do not recall table. If student attempts to cue you regarding furniture you state “chair.”
• You are defensive if the student suggests that you may have a problem with your memory.
•
Results of Gait Assessment
-You admit to a recent fall while walking in the house without your cane and when your knee pain was moderate to severe (7-9).
-You will be asked to rise from a chair without using your hand, walk ten feet, turn around and return to your seat. The student should be timing you as you perform this task. A normal test is done in less than 20 seconds.
• If the student suggests that you NOT use your cane, explain that you prefer to.
• As you walk, you should hold the cane that is too short in the wrong (Left) hand. You should not use it consistently. Just carry it while you limp at times.
• Limp and avoid bearing weight on left leg.
• Your Get-Up-Go test over 25 seconds. (This is abnormal. Normal is less than 20 seconds)
You may be asked by the preceptor to demonstrate the use of the cane at end of session
• Use cane in opposite hand of affected lower extremity
• Demonstrate walking with the cane as described by the preceptor
Measuring the Height of a Cane
Patient should stand in an upright position
Arms hang to the side with a normal bend at the elbow (15-20 degrees)
Place the cane on the ground on the opposite side to the affected lower extremity
Handle of the cane should reach the middle crease of the patient’s wrist
Increase or decrease the height for appropriate fit.
Cane touches the ground at the same time as the opposite (affected) foot
Cognitive Screening and Functional Assessment OSCE:
Case Description for Students
You have 15 minutes to read the instructions and perform the tasks
You are a medical student working with Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith has asked you to see one of his patients (Ms.Yates) and perform a cognitive evaluation and a gait assessment. .
Ms. Yates, an 80-year-old widow presenting to the office after a fall. Her BP is 160/90 and HR 60 on multiple anti HTN medications. Medications include Nifedipine XL 60 mg daily, Atenolol 100 mg daily, and HCTZ 25 mg daily. She states that she is independent with all ADLs and IADLs and denies any problems with her memory. Dr. Smith provided you with a note that the patient’s daughter wrote.
The Note: Dear Doctor, Mom was found on the floor two days ago. She had no injury and has been her usual self. Can you evaluate her memory? Mom has not been sad or depressed and is otherwise in good health. Thanks, Kimberly
Enter the room and see the patient. Perform the following tasks
Student Tasks
1) Introduce the subject of cognitive screening
2) Perform a Mini-Cog
3) Interpret the results of the Mini-Cog to the patient
4) Evaluate the patient’s gait with the Timed Get-up-Go Test
5) Explain the plan to Mrs. Yates
6) In the adjacent room, create a written plan for Mrs. Yates to discuss within the larger group.
You will be provided up to15 minutes to complete the interaction with the patient, and then will be guided to a separate room to compete your plan. Last student has 10 minutes
Cognitive Screening and Functional Assessment OSCE:
Instructions for preceptor
• The student is allowed 15 minutes to perform the tasks
• Observe the interaction between the student and patient
• Use the checklist to document items that the student has completed during the interaction.
• Keep track of the time, and inform the student when there are only 5 minutes left.
• Provide immediate feedback about how the student performed the assigned tasks (5 minutes)
• Inform the student of additional or missing components of the interaction
• Demonstrate the appropriate use of the cane.
• Direct the student to another room to write their plan when their interaction has been completed.
• Direct the next student to the OSCE room.
Large group session:
• Provide the students with the self assessment sheet. Allow time for completion.
• Review student’s plan for gait abnormality and cognitive impairment during the large group/wrap-up interaction.
• Provide OSCE evaluation sheet and collect.
Instructions to Student about appropriate use of the cane
• Use cane in opposite hand of affected lower extremity
• Show student how to evaluate the appropriate height of the cane, adjust the height, and demonstrate walking
Measuring the Height of a Cane
Patient should stand in an upright position
Arms hang to the side with a normal bend at the elbow (15-20 degrees)
Place the cane on the ground on the opposite side to the affected lower extremity
Handle of the cane should reach the middle crease of the patient’s wrist
Increase or decrease the height for appropriate fit.
Cane touches the ground at the same time as the opposite (affected) foot
