| This seminar and lab course builds upon the theoretical basis for physical, social, psychological, and cultural assessment of clients. The student applies knowledge of pathophysiology of each body system from health assessments to determine nursing diagnoses. Students compile a health history which includes an assessment of cultural values, health beliefs, and caring practices. Legal and ethical issues implicated in obtaining and managing health data are explored. Students practice in a supervised laboratory setting the procedural steps of a comprehensive health assessment. The importance of the professional nursing role in health assessment is examined. Prerequisites: NURS 2311, NURS 2312, NURS 2313, and all core requirements (for basic students). A 2.5 GPA is required for all four science courses. Co-requisites: NURS 3314, NURS 3665. |
