Module code: NUR6039-C
This module aims to provide students with the necessary skills to obtain a comprehensive holistic patient health history and to develop the knowledge and skills required to enable them to independently undertake a structured physical examination of patients using a systems-based approach.
The students will be able to communicate and document their findings using conventional medical terminology and recognise when it is appropriate to refer the patient on. In addition, they will acquire an appreciation of how clinical decision-making and their practice are informed by contemporary practice guidelines and the research evidence base.
