NUR 2012 - Health Assessment

3 cr

A practical application of health assessment, this course focuses on techniques of history taking, including environmental exposure and genetic risks, and physical examination in a cross-cultural, patient centered context.

Students will describe findings and differentiate normal from atypical or abnormal. Simulated and Virtual Hospital experiences provide opportunities for students to integrate communication, assessment and clinical judgment skills as the basis for nursing intervention and practice.
