NURS 403 - Advanced Health Assessment

Semester Hours: 4

This course builds upon basic physical assessment skills acquired in a pre-licensure program to provide a progressive, modern approach to health assessment of a child, adult, older adult and special populations. The Nursing Process, Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) and Patricia Benner’s Novice to Expert research provide a framework for development of critical thinking in practice. Topics covered in this course include the health history, general and regional examinations by body systems and application of advanced assessment to pregnant women, infants, adolescents and older adults.
