Introduction
This unit introduces students to a selection of current national health priorities. Students are introduced to the concepts of contextual physiology and pathophysiology and nursing practice across primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. Students will continue to develop the capacity to use a clinical reasoning framework and person-centred approach to conduct a focused health interview. Students will learn to perform physical assessments, communicate assessment findings, and build therapeutic relationships whilst demonstrating cultural competence and an awareness of relevant legal and ethical issues.
Students will have the opportunity to further develop their Professional Portfolio in this unit.
