Assessment of Lungs, Cardiovascular System and Peripheral Vascular System

NU304 Health Assessment in Nursing

Week 4 Assignment  

Assessment of Lungs, Cardiovascular System and Peripheral Vascular System

Part 1

In order to apply what you have learned in the readings, lectures, and course materials, you will create a short video demonstrating how to assess the lungs, cardiovascular system and peripheral vascular system. You will be responsible for obtaining a volunteer on which you will perform the assessment. Since you will be conducting assessments throughout the course and presenting your findings, it would be beneficial for you to use the same volunteer patient for all of your assessment videos. At the beginning of the recording of your assessment video, your volunteer must provide a verbal statement that he/she consents to being videotaped and that this video will strictly be used for instructional purposes only for Regis College.

Part 2

In addition to the demonstration/assessment video, you must submit a document that lists your objective findings of the lungs, cardiovascular system and peripheral vascular system assessments.
