Health Assessment/Health Promotion Paper

Guidelines 

Identify a chief complaint (i.e. "I don't hear as well as I used to" or "I have this terrible chest pain") You can pick any chief complaint that you are interested in exploring more in depth. 

Discuss what additional subjective and objective data needs to be collected for the chief complaint that you selected. Provide rationale for why it is important to collect that data (this should be referenced with your book or some journal articles) 

Finish the paper with a discussion of health promotion strategies that should be taught to a client with the "above mentioned" chief complaint. This section should also be referenced with books and/or journals. 

Page limit: Paper should be no longer than 6 typewritten pages.  

Paper should use APA format.
