Sentinel U Assessment 3

Care of Geriatrics — What This Scenario Covers

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.

What the documents cover

  • Comprehensive geriatric nursing assessment with age-specific findings documented
  • Fall risk evaluation using standardized tool, with multi-factorial prevention interventions
  • Medication reconciliation applying Beers Criteria with safety recommendations
  • Cognitive screening results (MMSE/MoCA) with clinical interpretation
  • ADL and IADL functional status assessment with measurable outcome goals
  • NANDA-format care plan prioritized by geriatric-specific nursing diagnoses
  • SBAR for interdisciplinary communication and care transitions
  • Post-simulation reflection on clinical reasoning and professional development

FAQ

Common questions about Sentinel U Care of Geriatrics

Assessment 3 tests comprehensive geriatric nursing competency including fall risk evaluation, polypharmacy safety using the Beers Criteria, cognitive screening with tools like MMSE and MoCA, ADL and IADL functional assessment, and the development of an age-appropriate, evidence-based care plan that integrates all findings.
Geriatric scenarios require students to integrate multiple assessment frameworks at once — fall scores, cognitive tools, medication safety criteria, and functional independence scales — and connect all findings into a single prioritized care plan. Students lose points by addressing each element in isolation rather than showing how they interact clinically.
