Chapter 1: Understanding Health Assessment
The World Health Organization (WHO) established a global strategy called —Health for All.‖
The goal for this strategy is:
All individuals to get the same health care throughout their life spans.
The government to supply money to care for all the people in the world.
Resources for health care to be evenly distributed and accessible.
Health-care providers can never deny patients health care.
Health assessment is a foundational and priority nursing skill. This essential skill requires
registered nurses (RNs) to:
Diagnose and treat patients.
Identify normal and abnormal findings.
Refer patients with abnormal findings.
Counsel patients with psychosocial needs.
You are assessing a patient with five gunshot wounds on a trauma unit. There is a police presence
outside his door because the patient is a known drug dealer in the community. You know that
nurses must treat all patients as persons. This is called:
Caring.
Holistic process.
Person-centered care (PCC).
Standards of care.
The science-based framework updated every 10 years by the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services that has set national goals and objectives for health promotion and disease
prevention is:
Healthy People.
