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

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.

Seriously....my assessment summary is paper is 40 pages long and I am still not finished. I wish I could just turn it, take the final and not look back.

Has anyone taken Holistic Care of Older Adults? Thats my next course....god i really hope its not more assessments.... :(

took holistic care last 5-week segment, along with 2 other classes. very easy class. no assessments at all. no book; lots of readings from articles they assign and videos; quizzes are a bit tricky but not bad. assignments are short with one paper but it is based on an interview you do with someone over 70, so you are basically putting the info you learned in the interview into APA paper form. DB's are easy, but you do have to reply to 2 other posts by a certain day.

as i said, i took 3 classes all together and didn't have much time to devote to this one but it was never a problem. the worst that occurred to me was that weekly quizzes were due every Mon @ 0800, so after working Fri, Sat, and Sun, I had to come home that night, review the articles and take the quiz while being pretty tired. all in all, easy to get an A.

I took vulnerable populations 2 semesters ago. It's not that bad. You look at the area you live in, or another area and assess what is going on in the zip code, or area you choose. I chose an area with low poverty and low crime. You drive around the area, make assessments of the population. I visited a woman's shelter, and interviewed the director. Really not that bad of a class. Get's you get out in the community.


thanks for the info, middlesister.

Thank you so much! Honestly will be a big relief after 3425 is over. I don't remember the last time I felt so unmotivated in a class with so much work!

Anyone heard anything about the final exam in 3425?? All I saw was the 120mins, and panic set in.

Hi Rosemary,

Yeah, quiz 4 was tricky. I did the genogram and ecomap a few days ago when I had time, bec i have to work all weekend, too, starting tomorrow. used MS Word and they turned out fine. if you are going to use that also, i recommend drawing the genogram out on a piece of paper first before you start the computer stuff. also, don't draw the squares and circles too big bec you will not have enough space to fit it all in.

later.

Where do we get the information to put into the ecomap? I figured the genomap out, just not the ecomap. I too have to work all weekend, night shift!

I googled ecomap. I just put my client/patient in a large circle in the middle, then around it I put other circles for things like activities, i.e. golf or sports, friends, community, church. Then put a line or double lines, etc. if there is a strong connection, bad connection, etc. I was able to use smart draw for my ecomap. I am sure it is not as thorough as others, but this is my first time.

Hey thanks ScarletFire for supposrt.

One more week!!!!!!!!
