Reflection
Advanced Health Assessment was the first class that I have taken where I was expected to record physical assessments of each body system and upload the videos to YouTube. Completing my first video made me extremely anxious. I was nervous with my presentation, how I composed my video, and I kept saying to myself "Did I get everything right?". As the weeks went on and I was able to view other students work and see that I was on the right track, I started to become more comfortable with the assignments. With these assessments I was able to develop differential diagnoses, complete history and physicals, and document full health assessments.
