This assignment synthesizes the study of advanced physical assessment by conducting a comprehensive virtual assessment of Tina Jones in Shadow Health.
This synthesis is focused upon designing evidence-based, culturally competent nursing interventions through the development of an individualized health plan. Assessment of competency is based on the Comprehensive Patient Interview, Physical Examination and
Individualized Plan of Care
incorporating Healthy People
