Week 11: The Comprehensive Physical Exam (cont.)—Behavior and Mental Health
Welcome to the eleventh week of Advanced Physical Assessment. During this lesson, you will continue to coordinate the comprehensive physical exam. The focus of this week is the behavior and mental status assessment. Please keep in mind that because there is a psychiatric nurse practitioner specialty degree, this unit will provide only a brief overview of the psychiatric assessment, as family nurse practitioners do not typically perform this focused exam in detail. You will look different exam techniques and then practice your exam assessment. You will review proper terminology for identifying and then appropriately documenting those subjective and objective findings. You will also focus on the seven crucial conversations that healthcare providers struggle with.
Review a list of all items due this week in your course syllabus.
