Hey there! This is Jon Haws and I wanted to welcome you to this assessment module of our Fundamentals course. The purpose of this module is to really give you a framework for how to conduct a thorough assessment on your patient. We’re not gonna list every abnormality you can find. We’re gonna talk about that more in the different courses, in the Med Surg course, Cardiac Course, OB course, etc. With this module, it’s really designed to do is it’s designed to help you develop a framework, develop a step by step process for conducting an assessment and then to help you kinda determine, does the patient have any abnormalities? Does the patient deviate from the norm? And if it deviate from the norm, then we need to investigate that further. So, I want you to dive into this course. I want you to use this checklist, use this method, because it’s really gonna help you conduct a thorough head to toe complete assessment on your patient. So, go ahead and dive in and I’m excited to cover all this.
