Your brief
You are a caregiver in a senior living community starting a conversation with Patricia Lowe, the charge nurse. You have noticed a change in a resident's condition, and Patricia needs a clear report she can act on. In this conversation, your goal is to communicate the key facts plainly, especially what changed and when you noticed it. A strong outcome is that Patricia understands the situation and what needs attention next.
Why it's hard
Small changes are where reports go bad. A resident seems "off," but if you lead with a long story and never pin down what changed at 9 a.m. versus what's true right now, the charge nurse can't judge urgency. Add the caregiver-to-nurse hierarchy, and people often soften the report exactly when they need to be plain.
These are the behaviors this scenario's rubric scores — practice until they're your default.
