NMC OSCE Peak Expiratory Flow Rate

In this video we take a closer look at how to take a peak expiratory flow rate reading which is part of the OSCE Skill Station in the NMC OSCE exam. An overview of the procedure is given, followed by our great top tips for exam success.

This is very helpful. Can you please do a video on implementation?

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

Thanks, there is already a video on implementation.

Mam please please please make Braden score video. It’s very confusing
I passed in 9 stations but failed in Braden
I couldn’t calculate properly in sensory perception and friction and sheer
I will appear in exam after 10 days.
Also can you tell if I will get the same scenario

[@sunibiju3734]

Mam is it OK that hand hygiene we will do as the first step and then the scene safety and privacy because in my hospital they teach us like this way. I will write my exam in northumbria. Also for dates is it to write as Today?

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

Should be okay.

[@tillydina7700]

Hi,
Don’t we need to use the peak flow chart to measure the values against the predicted values.

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

it used to be but does not appear on the new marking criteria.

[@tillydina7700]

@@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851 thank you so much for your reply, videos are quite helpful.

Do I need to give PFM cleaning instructions?

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

Not part of marking criteria to give instructions to patient but you should dispose off the mouthpiece and clean the peak flow after taking readings.

Hello, do we Get just the form to write pefr reading in the OSCE exam or do we also get a form to check the normal values as well? Many thanks!

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

You get both

@@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851 hi,are we going to get the target value/ normal value based on the pt.'s ht,sex anld age?

[@ishmaeldzivor7031]

My exam is December and needs your service
How much does it cost?

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

[@rakshya6753]

Do we also have to calculate our patients expected peak flow reading acc to their height and weight given and compare with the one highest we get during the procedure done and explain to the patient?

[@oscenursetrainingcambridge3851]

it used to be but does not appear on the new marking criteria.

[@eliatisu2177]

Even though the calculation does not appear on the new marking scheme, my colleagues who took the exam 4 days ago were given the peak flow chart, the one with the normal/expected ranges, with patients height on it, which implies that you have to compute the highest value you got. They were not given the patients age so they had to calculate that using the patients date of birth…
