NUR 2102 Lifespan Health Assessment and Clinical Prevention
Utilizing a body systems approach, students in this course will explore principles of health assessment and clinical prevention across the lifespan. Students will use both didactic and lab components to discover a means to collect and interpret subjective and objective data to formulate clinical judgment about the individual's health state, response to actual or potential problems, life processes or higher levels of wellness. Concepts of genetics and genomics in relation to health assessment and clinical prevention will be explored. The nursing student will apply principles from Healthy People 2030, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Clinical Preventive Guidelines, and other national standards to promote primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. The course culminates with the baccalaureate entry level student applying theoretical and lab concepts to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for a comprehensive health history and physical exam.
