Clients are dependent on their nurse’s physical assessments. This presentation will help nurses fine-tune this skill set so they can render the best possible care. A demonstration will be offered along with a chance to practice physical assessment skills. Participants should bring a stethoscope and a penlight/flashlight. This is a 2.5 to 3-hour interactive session.
