They will learn to perform comprehensive assessments using an organized approach to assess chief complaint, history of present illness, sexual history as required and perform a relevant physical exam to screen for communicable diseases or sexually transmitted infections.
Contract Nurses will understand and determine the need for the appropriate diagnostic tests (blood work, or urine/ swab for culture) required to test for communicable diseases and sexually transmitted infections, and learn how to discuss assessment and laboratory findings with the client, recognizing the need and performing contact tracing if necessary.
