Community Assessment: Student Assessment

a. As the practitioner, how did you feel examining your partner?

It was comfortable since I was doing with my friend. Even though she was my friend I was doing the NFPE procedure in a same way which if I could do it in a hospital or in a community. I have asked her permission while doing taking each measurement. I have done this one with other friends in MNT class so I felt like each person different. For this practical my friend was moderately malnourished. She told me that she has increased the intake of carbohydrates and fruits for past 3 weeks. I hope this will improve her status.

b. As the patient, how did you feel being examined?
As mentioned above is it was my friend so I was conformable. I was not wearing a lose dress therefore, it was difficult for friend to examine well. Even to examine my temples was difficult since I my hair was thick. Felt like if we had a little privacy but it is a difficult to attain in a classroom lab I think so. But it was perfectly fine for me.
