NUR645E Advanced Health Assessments for Nurse Educators

Week 3 Discussion

DQ1 You are completing a complete health assessment on a patient and you notice that there
are indications that the patient may have been cutting herself. You inquire
about the marks and she states that she fell and scratched her wrist when she
tried to break her fall. How do you handle this information? Defend your
rationale with references (APA format).

DQ2 You are working with a nursing student from an undergraduate nursing program. She does
not perform an exam of the cranial nerves correctly. You discuss this with her
outside the exam room and she denies that she did the examination incorrectly
and that she got checked off on physical assessment. What do you say to her?
Defend your rationale with references (APA format).
