Assessment, Evaluation and Clinical Decision-Making

Catalog description

This course explores assessment of the individual and families across the lifespan. The concepts of genetics and health maintenance/health promotion will guide the student to develop plans of care focused on clinical prevention. Students will cultivate professional assessment skills by completing a health interview, a health risk assessment and a discharge teaching plan. All evidence-based plans of care reflect an understanding of the relationship between assessed risk factors and genetic predisposition toward illness with the goal of achieving quality patient outcomes.
