Holistic Health Assessment

January 5, 2016

The focus of the course is to expand upon NUR 245 concepts. Students will synthesize the assessment of the individual within the context of the family and the communities within which they live. Emphasis is on the assessment of physical, developmental, psychosocial (cognitive, affective and behavioral), cultural and spiritual dimensions of the client and/or families as well as factors that influence behavioral responses to health and illness across the life span. Attention will be placed on ethical dilemmas that arise during a comprehensive assessment process.
