NURS 304 Final Summer 2018

For this final, you will provide a brief discussion of 3 assessment techniques that you learned new or refined for your nursing practice as a result of this course. This can be any 3 from the entire 8 weeks. They can be techniques for either collecting subjective (health history) or objective (physical exam) data. As with any professional education, you must consider it, determine how to apply it and improve your professional nursing career. Just taking this course is only part of improving nursing practice…making improvements in your practice is what counts. For this final, you will write a brief paragraph for each identified skill/technique. I anticipate that this final when complete will be between 1 – 1 ½ pages in total. Please ensure that your responses are NOT bolded. No referencing is needed unless you use a source outside of Jarvis. You do not need to include a title page, just ensure your name is on this page.Each question is 3 points for a total of 9 points on this final exam. Grading will be based on the completeness of your response. 1 for not complete at all, 2 for mostly complete, 3 for complete.

An example may be that you learned all of the locations for auscultation on anterior and posterior sides of the lungs. Prior to this course you were just listening to 4 spots on both sides and thus missing large parts, including the middle lobe of the lungs. Here you would then spend a few sentences discussing why this change is needed and what it means for your nursing practice.
