    What's a data sheet? Is it for some kind of assignment? How about you describe it or ask the faculty who assigned it?

    It's like I have to describe My patients after I finish My clinical work at hospitals and all, you know?

    No, I don't know. Do you mean there are blanks to be filled in with data you are supposed to learn from/about your patient in clinical, and you don't know what they mean? What are they?

    Dude It's like the age of the patient, sex, occupation and the the physical assessment results like Yeah there are blanks..

    I'm taking a guess this is how you fill it out: Where it says age, you put the age. Where it says sex, you put male or female, etc. There's got to be more to this question right? I hope.

    Why don't you ask your clinical instructor?

    You should ask your instructor what they expect on this data sheet.

    Did you really just call GrnTea dude? Really? SHE was only trying to help (she IS a nursing instructor, if anyone can help it is GrnTea).

    I'm assuming its a paper you need to fill out with the assessment data you collected on your patient. List it in a head to toe (body system) way. Neuro, head/neck, Cardiac, Respiratory, GI, GU, musculo-skeletal, skin/nails, any IVs tubes etc.

    NEURO: Neuro-orientaiton, hand grasps, LOC, PERRLA, etc.
    HEAD/NECK: head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, mucous membrains moist/dry?
    RESP: breath sounds, o2 sat, on o2, normal breathing, cough present, sputum, respiration rate?
    CARDIAC: cap refill, heart beat (reg/irreg), + pulses (pedal, radial, carotid etc), heart rate, BP
    GI: bowel sounds, pain, distention, last BM
    GU: urine color, clarity, any odor, bladder distentin pain etc
    MS: balance, gait, strength, muscle mass
    IV/tubes" any presence of IV's (peripheral or central), tubes (foley, rectal,) drains (JP, etc)
    SKIN/NAILS: bruises, dressings, open areas, temp, pallor

    Just put all the info you collected on your patient in to the appropriate section.
