After introducing themselves to the patient, what must the PN do before the patient is ready for the pre-clin visit?

Hint: see clinic flow diagram

• Vitals

• Health Access Questionnaire

• Put the patient in the room assigned on the tracker

• Discuss case with resident

• Update patient tracker

Select all that apply: Which blood pressures are abnormal, and should warrant an rapid notice to the MD?

Hint: you are always allowed to look this up if you're unsure!

• 88/52

• 120/90

• 170/90

• 130/88

• 160/110

Answer explanation

Know your vital sign parameters!

Memorize now so you have this mastered before medical school :)

You are a PN and at the end of a patient visit.

You download this document from the PN interactive tool. What do you do next?

• Send it to the referrals chair

• Fill out the patient's information

• Show it to the patient

• Nothing - this document has nothing to do with you

Answer explanation

There is something wrong with this sheet -- it is NOT filled out!

Once you download it, you should be able to fill in the information in a PDF editor.

It is the PN's job to email this to the Referrals chair with its information FILLED OUT!

This should take ~30 seconds :)

The patient has been prescribed a Atorvastatin 40 mg with a 30 day supply. You want to help the patient get the cheapest medication possible.

What pharmacy will be the cheapest option?

Hint: you will need to use GoodRx ;)

• Safeway

• CVS

• Rite Aid

• Costco

Answer explanation

Pay attention to the # day supply for the medication!

Costco is the cheapest option for 30 day supply (default), but NOT for 90 day supply.

Pay careful attention to the details of the GoodRx coupon you are giving!

Where in the EMR do you find the patient's PHONE # for follow-up calls?

• Home screen

• Registration tab

• Consents tab

• It's not in the EMR; it's in the patient tracker

Answer explanation

Will show up on the registration tab!

If not on home screen, possibly was not transferred over. You can look at the consent form tab :)

Where do you log your follow up call?

Answer explanation

Patient Tracker!

This allows us to quickly review which patients have/have not had follow up.
