UTA NURS 3425 Health Assessment to start 1-14-2013

Nursing Students Texas (UTA)

Published

This thread is for anyone taking Holistic health assessment on-line at UTA starting Jan 14th 2013. Hopefully we can get a good thread going in order to provide support for each other as we go. The more students who participate, the better it will be for everyone.

I don't add anything that is not listed in the book or the rubric....not a word extra! I'm a minimalist! :)

My coach took 10 points off because I didn't put a 24 hour diet for the usual diet on page 71 and 113! It doesn't state that, or does it somewhere? So she gave me a 90 and stated good job! Really?

We must have the same coach! :) I don't recall seeing anything that states 24 log required for this assessment, but I guess that rule continues throughout every assignment. I feel like she could be a lot more picky and, although, the lack of a 24 log doesn't necessarily seem to be justified with a 10% dock in score, it probably is justified by the overall quality of my work.

P.C.? I am just going to have to put my 24 hour diet, from week 1, cut and paste it everytime it asks for a diet.

And, it probably didn't take you 7 hours like me, huh? :) did you put the 24 hour diet?

Hey ya'll, any tips on week 3's subjective and objective? Any hidden items that we could possibly be docked on? Like the diet one that I got docked for, because it did not state 24 hours! Scarletfire helped me a lot with telling us to put hhMg! I was wondering about the TB skin test, should we do a COLDSPA for that, because our families are exposed to us and they should be skin tested too?

For some reason I have not got my grade back on the objective data, just the subjective data. I also missed the 24 hour diet recall. I see in week three subjective under heart and neck vessels we should probably copy and paste the diet in the lifestyle and health practices as question 3 is usual diet and exercise patterns.

If it's any consolation, I missed that darn 24 hour diet recall for three consecutive weeks :/

However, my coach (can't recall his/her name) didn't ding me as harshly as some of you were dinged. I lost 2 or 3 points max each time. Perhaps that's why I didn't pick up on missing it right away...

Received an e:mail that grades for week 2 will be delayed 24 hours due to a problem with Blackboard (more likely it is a problem with the AC), I don't know, but they are still not in for me.

I don't know why the 24 diet thing is such a big deal with them. If you look ahead to week 4, we have to do 4 of them!!!!! Yes, we all know how to cut and paste, but that is not the point. How is this task helping us learn to be better nurses?.........It's not. It is an outrageous waste of time and it is an insult to us as nurses. It might be different if we were to subsequently do an analysis of nutritional status; maybe then this exercise would have value. But to merely state that our client had a turkey sandwich and iced tea for lunch and have that be a mandated and important part of this assignment is absurd. They love to call us "Professional Nurses" who should be elevated almost to the status of physicians and they have us waste time on this nonsense.

I asked my coach about the 24 hour diet and she stated that it was in our message from dr mike.

I guess when it comes to diet, I am going to just copy and paste every week!

I wouldn't do that, because it'd be dishonest unless your patient eats the very same thing every Tuesday like my autistic son does. Even then, it'd still stick out and raise an eyebrow.

Just get a quick summary of what they've eaten over the last 24. If your subject happens to be a family member and you happen to be the family cook, you know what they're eating and can fill in most of the blanks :)
