This class offers discussion of the patient health evaluation, including history-taking and the basic measurement and significance of the vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and respiratory rate). Over the course of five lectures, we’ll also have some limited hands-on instructions for self-examination, and provide an opportunity to improve understanding of the clinical evaluation process, promote health awareness and self-check to help with assessment of risk factors.

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
