Your scenario and task
Tess Martin has received wound care and is awaiting the next ED review. Take a focused update from her and hand over to receiving RN Casey. The ED clinician reachable by phone can be called if needed. Complete the handover record.
What this type of station practises
Make a clear clinical request using Introduction, Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation. The listener should understand both the concern and the action needed.
In “ED handover after wound treatment”, use the task in the reading card to decide what to assess, explain and record in ed. Practise a telephone escalation, a shift handover or a transfer of care. Prepare a brief opening, relevant background, measured findings and an explicit request. Do not delay emergency assistance to finish a routine call.
These are general rehearsal aims, not the answers to this scenario. Respond to information obtained during practice rather than a memorised solution.
Say-and-do preparation
Prepare the sequence and language with a related checklist. Online rehearsal develops thinking and explanations; physical technique needs supervised in-person practice.
