- CER:
- Claim, Evidence, Reasoning — make a claim, back it with evidence, explain your reasoning.
- SOP:
- Standard Operating Procedure — the exact steps to follow (especially in a lab).
- Tracker:
- Your PLTW progress log where you record completed evidence.
- myPLTW:
- The PLTW course site where you do the online activities — you open it through Schoology.

💡 Big idea: A complete clinical evidence packet demonstrates accurate measurement, proper documentation, and honest interpretation with acknowledged limitations.
- 0:00Project the tracker checklist; walk through each required item
- 0:10Work time: upload simulated EMR record; verify all four vital signs have values and units
- 0:25Work time: upload Thursday CER; check that a feedback mechanism and one limitation are stated
- 0:40Confirm variables and limitations are documented in the notebook and tracker
- 0:58Self-assessment form: check each success criterion; flag any item not fully met
- 1:08One-sentence share: what is one situation in which a vital-sign reading would be misleading without context?
- • This is the clinical-communication submission. You are closing a patient chart: the EMR record, the analysis, and the self-assessment all go in together.
- • A medical record without units is unusable. Before you upload your EMR, verify every reading has its unit: bpm, breaths/min, mmHg, degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius.
- • Your Thursday CER is the analytical piece. Does it reference the feedback mechanism? Does it state a limitation of the single-time-point measurement? If not, revise before you upload.
- • Self-assess against each success criterion. This is clinical training, not just a class assignment. The habits you build here are the habits you will carry into a clinical setting.
- 1Review the tracker checklist for clinical-communication deliverables.
- 2Upload your simulated EMR vital-signs record.
- 3Attach your CER comparing readings to normal ranges.
- 4Confirm units, variables, and limitations are documented.
- 5Self-assess against success criteria and flag gaps.
- • I can submit a complete clinical-data packet.
- • I can verify my records against a checklist.
- • An EMR entry must include units for every measurement; a value without a unit is clinically ambiguous.
- • Submitting a CER that interprets readings against ranges and references a feedback mechanism shows you understand the physiology behind the numbers.
- • Self-assessment surfaces documentation gaps before a clinical supervisor or evaluator does, which is the professional standard in healthcare.

Day 5 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Open myPLTW and confirm all Lesson 2.1 Talk to Your Doc tasks are marked complete.
All Lesson 2.1 tasks should show as complete in your myPLTW progress view.
Every item from Monday through Thursday should be submitted today before you leave.
Completed myPLTW Lesson 2.1 unit with all tasks marked, plus tracker submission including EMR record, CER, and self-assessment.
All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.
Today's PLTW tracker
Check things off as you work, then submit. This tells Mr. Mendoza how you're doing so he can help the class. It does not replace turning in your producible on Schoology.
