This adult focused course prepares the student to perform at a novice level a person-centered health assessment, which includes physical, psychological, sociocultural and spiritual variables. Therapeutic communication, interviewing and documentation skills related to the health assessment and interview are developed. A focus on the theoretical basis for selected nursing skills, including safe medication administration and the development of the student's psychomotor ability to perform these skills is emphasized in the laboratory setting. The clinical application focuses on recognizing assessment cues and therapeutic communication. (5 s.h.)
