Using critical thinking and communication skills, the student will begin to collect, organize, and analyze complex client assessment data. The nursing process is considered within each topic, as appropriate. Students practice and apply theoretical knowledge and competencies in the simulation laboratory and then integrate the knowledge and competencies while assessing clients in the healthcare setting. Throughout the course, students demonstrate competence of health assessments and vital signs and are validated through skill performance assessments.
