NRSG410 Health and Wellness Assessment
As providers of care, nurses should be competent in conducting comprehensive assessments of the health and well being of patients. Assessment includes completion of a systematic health history, a physical examination, a family and social and spiritual history, and a life style behavioral assessment. Students will learn the strategies for completing and recording a comprehensive patient assessment focused on health and wellness across the lifespan. Though a physical exam will be covered, this is not a physical assessment course. Assignments will be entered into an e-portfolio along with those of subsequent courses in the program. The e-portfolio will be updated with course assignments and professional and educational experiences as students’ progress through their program.
