Title: End of Module 4 / Beginning of Module 5
Course: HEALTH ASSESSMENT 80FA20

For Module 5, we are focusing on mental status and the neurological system. You will be working on the final systems in Sherpath and completing the final case study. You can also submit a rough draft of the Ethnogeriatric Case Study this week.

In the Ethnogeriatric Case Study discussion board from last week, I left feedback on the discussion thread that should help with understanding what is expected on this case study. I will encourage you all to read over each student submission and the feedback from myself as well as your classmates. They were really good examples of my expectations for the assignment. The big thing that usually gets points deducted, is the lack of use of references. You must provide references to support what you are saying. In the columns related to each ethnic group, be sure that you are addressing the question asked and you are correlating it with the ethnic group you are discussing in that column.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns this week. I will be happy to talk via phone or Zoom for anyone that would like to talk face to face. Of course, email and texts work as well. Have a great week!

Dr. Ventura
