Advanced Health Assessment and Promotion I

This course builds upon health assessment skills developed in the registered nurse's basic educational program. The theoretical and clinical basis for assessment in advanced nursing practice will be expanded upon. The process whereby the advanced practitioner utilizes comprehensive physical, psychosocial, and cultural assessment across the lifespan to gather specific data relevant to common health problems is demonstrated. Faculty and preceptors facilitate laboratory and clinical experiences, which focus on assessment of clients and presentation of findings in a variety of settings. On-site hours are associated with this course.
