NURS 3020 Health Assessment Study Guides & Discussion

In this course, students have the chance to acquire the knowledge and abilities necessary for gathering data pertaining to the evaluation of an individual’s health status. They are instructed in the physical examination techniques of observation, touch, tapping, and listening, which are employed to assess various bodily systems throughout a person’s life. Furthermore, they gain hands-on experience in employing interview methods and effective communication skills when recording patient histories, and they explore the psychological, social, and cultural dimensions of clinical assessment. Moreover, students consider how to integrate data in order to guide the nursing process while adhering to ethical standards. Through engaging in interactive simulations, students put their knowledge into practice and demonstrate their comprehension of conducting health assessments. (Prerequisite: Successful completion of NURS 3015 is required for enrollment.)
