Health Assessment
Course Code: NURS 311
Credit: (2+2)
This course provides the student with the opportunity to develop skills in
physical assessment across the life span and to evaluate the client’s health
status from a holistic perspective. The applications of selected principles from
previous sciences and nursing courses are incorporated throughout the theory
content of the course. Laboratory science experience (Nursing Skills Lab) is
provided to enable the student to expand that knowledge base to include skills
necessary to perform comprehensive health assessment to a diverse population.
Students will develop skills and techniques required for a comprehensive
assessment within a legal/ethical framework of the nursing
profession.
