| Brief description of the Unit |
This unit begins from the premise that sound assessment skills are at the core of safe, person-centred care. Students will be introduced to the principles of culturally appropriate comprehensive physical and mental health and wellness assessment across the lifespan. It will explore the place of assessment within the clinical- reasoning cycle. Students will be provided with the skills and knowledge to assess hazards within the workplace and contribute to Workplace Health and Safety (WHS). The unit explores the essential elements of effective person centered assessment including evidence-based assessment frameworks and nursing clinical judgement, communication and e-documentation in assessment, strategies for decision making, problem solving and critical thinking for assessment practice, as well as basic psychomotor skills essential for comprehensive, systematic health assessment. Students will be provided with experience in a health and illness context, including providing palliative care, in order to begin to apply and develop their foundational assessment skills for future situationally aware practice with increasing complexity. This unit will incorporate additional learning hours to support the development of students’ academic and study skills |
