N522 Advanced Physical Assessment

Module 8 Discussion

DQ1 Complete the focused assessment of Esther Park in Shadow Health.  Analyze your health history & physical assessment findings here with your list of differential diagnoses and a detailed explanation of your clinical reasoning for the choices you made.  Include a discussion of the specific cultural needs of this patient & how you will plan an individualized care plan that includes these needs.  What specific developmental & life span considerations will be necessary to provide care for Esther, keeping in mind the legal & ethical considerations of professional nursing practice?

DQ2 Consider the special topics of pain assessment and cultural competency. How are these nursing assessments conducted in your nursing practice? Are your assessments current and based upon contemporary evidence or are these in need of policy and procedural revision? If revision is needed, what might you suggest to be changed? If you perceive the assessments are clinically relevant, what evidence supports your current practice?
