Completed Sentinel U Assessment 3 documents — fall prevention care plan, polypharmacy review, cognitive and ADL assessment, SBAR, and post-simulation reflection. Written by a board-certified PMHNP-BC.
Comprehensive geriatric nursing scenario covering fall prevention, polypharmacy management, cognitive screening (MMSE/MoCA), functional status, and age-specific care planning.
Sentinel U Assessment 3
The Sentinel U Care of Geriatrics scenario requires students to perform a comprehensive assessment of an elderly patient and develop a care plan that addresses the complex, overlapping needs common in older adults. The scenario specifically tests your ability to conduct a fall risk evaluation, identify polypharmacy issues, screen for cognitive changes, assess functional status across activities of daily living, and incorporate age-specific physiological considerations into every clinical decision.
Students frequently struggle on this scenario because geriatric nursing requires integrating multiple assessment frameworks simultaneously — fall risk scores, cognitive screening tools, Beers Criteria for potentially inappropriate medications, and functional independence scales — and connecting all of those findings into a cohesive, actionable care plan. The documents on this page present those connections clearly and with full clinical rationale.
