As a key nursing function, assessment is the systematic method of collecting and analyzing data for the purpose of planning patient-centered care. This course will emphasize accurate health-history taking, and holistic health assessment skills to deliver safe, effective nursing care in today’s ever-changing healthcare environment. No matter where the nurse practices, they need to be prepared to perform accurate, timely assessments based on evidence-based knowledge. The student will develop critical thinking skills to analyze the data collected to identify client problems and make informed nursing judgments. Emphasis will be placed on cultural competence, lifespan considerations, psychosocial, sociocultural, environment and community, and interprofessional collaboration.
