Week 1 Discussion

Exploring the Nurse’s Role in Health Assessment

This week’s graded topics relate to the following Course
Outcomes (COs).

(CO #1) – Utilize prior knowledge of theories and principles
of nursing and related disciplines to explain expected client behaviors, while
differentiating between normal findings, variations, and abnormalities. (PO #1)

The nursing process is utilized in a variety of nursing
roles and health care settings. Whether you are working in direct patient care,
telehealth, or in a leadership role – the basic model is the same! Take this

settings! Hint: Your assigned readings will be helpful in formulating your
answers.

patient population.

Provide examples of key subjective and objective data points
you collect.
