Subjective Recipe

Half way through cardio. I feel like with all the placements so far it’s the subjective that is so much more difficult. Most of the time you find yourself particularly in the beginning of the placement asking certain questions because that was what we were taught to ask. Then later you figure out what it all means. Well by halfway through this placement it is slowly starting to become easier to ask what I need to know and know why I am asking it. It makes the S so much more efficient as well as the whole session because you aren’t asking about things that are irrelevant. It really helped after my tutor suggested that when I am going through the notes work out exactly, even write some notes on what I still need to know about and what I need to confirm/expand. It takes a bit more time planning wise but it gets quicker. I found this so much more efficient and found I gained a better overall understanding of the plan needed for the patient both short term and D/C planning. With practice if I think about what I really need to know before I see a patient I can make the transition from recipe to reasoning.
