Course: HEALTH ASSESSMENT 80FA20 > Section: Module 1 - Beginning the Exam; Nutrition (August 24-30)

Discussion - My Favorite Health Assessment Story Is:

As RNs, physical assessment is something you have likely done numerous times in your nursing career.  For this post, think back to some of the more memorable assessments or patient interviews you have performed and pick one to share with the class.  It may be memorable because of an “oops” moment that you learned something from, or a patient that was unique.  Possibly it was a physical finding that caught you by surprise or was very noteworthy.   In your post, do not share with the class exactly why you found this assessment or interview memorable.  That your classmates' job!

For the replies in this post, choose two classmates to respond to.  In your response, state why you think your classmate found this experience memorable.   Then, based on the story, identify one assessment or history-taking skill you could learn or improve on during this course.

In order to make sure responses are distributed evenly, if a student already has two replies to their post, select another student to respond to.   At the end of the discussion, each student should have at least two responses.

Important Guidelines:

As you share your post keep the following in mind:

- Be respectful of your patient and your classmates.
- Do not include ANY information that might possibly identify the patient or violate HIPPA guidelines.
- Finally, don’t share anything you would not share with your grandmother!

Discussion Specific Criteria:

1. Your initial post describes the experience in enough detail that others will be able to determine why you found it memorable.
2. Your post follows the important guidelines listed above.
3. Reply to the posts of at least 2 classmates.
4. Replies include both a reason you think the experience was memorable and the learning opportunity you found in the experience.
