Physical Assessment

When asked how will the Physical Assessment class help me in the future, I respond by simply stating that it will help strengthen my interview skills with any clients that I encounter while working as a nurse. Physical assessment is not only about knowing the anatomy and physiology of the human body but how to formulate general and specific questions in order to better understand how a disease process might’ve manifested itself throughout that human body. The interviewing process is a vital part of a nurse’s care for their clients; its provides them with direction and allows for the clients to effectively convey their health concerns. This class also allows healthcare professional become aware of the different cultural barriers that are present in the health care field, the more educated we are in that matter, the better equipped we are to approach care in an individualized way.
