Lectures (and clinical experiences) are designed to help the family or adult (primary or acute care) nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist student apply their knowledge of physical assessment of adult/geriatric clients to the primary care or acute care setting. Emphasis is placed on the differentiation between normal and abnormal findings, recognition of common health problems, development of a differential diagnosis and the process of critically thinking through problems related to adult/geriatric health. COURSE OVERVIEW: Adult/Geriatric variations in history taking, screening, anticipatory guidance, examination techniques, physical findings, and common health problems will be addressed. COURSE OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this course the student will be able to: 1. Identify normative changes that occur in adults as they age, and distinguish them from pathological changes. 2. Distinguish themes within the aging client s history and physical, such as high risk behaviors and their sequelae. 3. Distinguish patterns of the aging individual s health risk based on current literature and the guidelines of Healthy People Identify potential barriers to access to health care that affect this client population.
