NURS 5110 Advanced Health Assessment
This course explores advanced health assessment; the foundational health history and physical examination tools needed by all advance practice nurses. Throughout the classroom and laboratory skills sessions, students will build upon existing nursing assessment competencies and tailor history and physical examination elements for both episodic complaints and full, well focused exams for populations across the lifespan. Students will devise assessments tailored to the individual’s stated needs, physiologic stage of development and socio-cultural context. Formulated and executed assessments will reflect population and risk specific health promotion and disease prevention.
