I loved the feedback of what was wrong, right, or could have been better. I helped the patient with pain management and educate her about wound care. 2- Talk about what went well in the scenario. Assessing Sara Lin’s pain level and where it hurt were an action that gave me an understanding of the pain she was expecting and that way I can help her. 3- Reflecting on Sara Lin’s case, were there any actions you would do differently if you were to repeat this scenario? If so, how would your patient care change? I will provide more education to the patient. Scenario Analysis Questions 1- EBP/S: What priority problem(s) did you identify for Sara Lin?
