Biophysical Process and Health Assessment

Question: Discuss about the Biophysical Process and Health Assessment. Answer: Reflection After the review of Jacks case, as a nurse practitioner I have learnt a lot concerning importance of having broad nursing knowledge base. The story shows the need of conducting extensive medical checkup based on physical examination of a patient. The nurse dealing with jack applies nursing knowledge base to come up with a diagnosis (Estes, 2014). The nurse performs careful medical examination on jack regardless of the unavailability of medical equipment in the remote clinic. As nurse practitioner it is important to conduct a comprehensive physical examination on your patient and put into consideration all the available clues. I have learnt that as a nurse I should take hid of all ethical issues. Jennys story highlights the importance of collecting detailed medical history of a patient. The nurse in the story asks Pamela and Jenny questions gathering important information leading to best diagnosis. As a nurse practitioner have learnt the need to think appropriately before making decisions in future as seen in this case. Freds story is full of ethical issues and social issues which should be considered. The nurse in this case applies the two issues in understanding Freds problem. As a nurse practitioner I have learnt that it is important to consider social issues to make the diagnosis. In the consideration of the three cases it is important as a nurse practitioner to apply the nursing knowledge base, cultural and ethical issues as well as comprehensive examinations.
