Overview: Module 3 A and 3B Subjective and Objective Data Collection
Use the interview guides and assessment forms for the topics we are covering and fill in the
forms. See the module 1 assignment instructions to refresh your memory if you are not sure
about saving or submitting the work. You don’t have to use the same person for the entire
class—try to find assessment partners among people who actually have health problems so that
you get experience assessing and documenting abnormal findings if possible. Because you are
covering more assessment topics this week, they will be turned in as two assignments.
On the Module 3 assignment forms, you will find the following items:
• Eyes
• Ears
• Mouth
• Nose
• Throat
• Sinuses
Remember not to use terms like “good”, “normal” and “NA”. From this week forward, you
may not use terms in describing skin such as “spot”, “bump” or “pimple”—you need to
use professional language. We expect you to use “macule”, “papule” and “pustule”
appropriately. Read the section in your book thoroughly which describes skin lesions—these
will be on the quiz!
