Help with Health Assessment Comprehensive Final

Published

Specializes in Med/Surg.

I have a comprehensive health assessment final Wednesday (May 2nd). I've really struggled with the class and I'm two points away from failing. I've been giving it my all, but still its been a struggle. I'm at a loss as to how to study for the final since I'm so weak in all the areas of the class. I normally do flash cards. Should I stick with what I normally do or try a different method? Any suggestions, tips, words of encouragement are greatly appreciated.

I'm currently in Health Assessment at my school. I have a 94 test average going into the comprehensive final. My final is May 7th. I plan on focusing my study on normals vs. abnormals for each body system and for different ages (ie children, pregnant, elderly), knowing the major vocab words for each chapter we studied, knowing what type of subjective questions should be asked to patients, and knowing major anatomy/physiology concepts for each body system covered. Our text book has a website that follows along. I plan to practice with the multiple choice questions on the textbook's website.
