NURS220 | HEALTH ASSESSMENT

This course builds on the health assessment skills developed in NURS 141. The interactive effects of developmental, genetic, environmental, and other biopsychosocial influences on health are examined as part of the health assessment process. Demonstration of mastery and synthesis of the theoretical knowledge, communication, and psychomotor skills needed to conduct a comprehensive age appropriate health assessment is expected. Students are also expected to develop a plan of care that is family-centered, and culturally appropriate using evidence such as clinical guidelines and integrative literature reviews (1 credit theory, 1 credit lab).
