NRSG 311 Health Assessment

This course is designed to build health history and assessment skills in the practicing Registered Nurse. Following a systematic review of basic assessment skills, students expand their knowledge to include a holistic approach assessing physiological, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual variables of health across the lifespan. Clinical reasoning is developed through case studies involving differentiation between normal and abnormal assessment findings. A comprehensive health history and assessment provides the foundation for development of an educational resource to promote health and wellness for an identified client need.
