NUR 382 - Heath Promotion and Assessment

The course helped me work with my clients to identify areas of health promotion and illness prevention to focus on. I have learned how to assess their level of knowledge and how, as a team, to bridge the gap of what they know and what they need to know. This assignment required me to present health promotion and illness prevention education clearly, at a fifth grade reading level, in order to help foster understanding and a learning partnership between my client and myself.
