This essay discusses NURS 623 advanced health assessments and the types of conjunctivitis. Advanced assessments go beyond basic history and physical examination. This way, medical and nursing students can master the diagnostic reasoning process. Students can achieve this more successfully by following a nursing care plan to master the diagnostic reasoning process. Diagnostic reasoning entails the use of ‘self-questions’ to guide one’s thinking process. Through diagnostic reasoning, students can obtain pertinent, relevant, problem-specific patient history that will assist in Differential Diagnosis. Differential diagnosis is one of the essential areas of advanced health assessments. Various differential diagnosis tables provide a quick-reference summary of possible diagnoses for each patient problem.

SYMPTOMS, CAUSES, AND TYPES OF CONJUNCTIVITIS
Medical professionals can conduct advanced health assessments to determine the particular type of conjunctivitis in patients. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the transparent membrane that lines our eyelids and covers the white part of eyeballs. Common symptoms include redness and itchiness in the eyes and a gritty feeling in the eyes. Patients may also experience tearing and discharge from the eyes. Severe conditions may require the adoption of nursing care plans to help in treatment and recovery. Causes may be viruses, bacteria, allergies, and other foreign objects in the eyes. Some of the types of conjunctivitis include allergic conjunctivitis and conjunctivitis caused by irritants.

NURS 623 ADVANCED HEALTH ASSESSMENTS AND DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE NURSING CARE PLANS
A nursing care plan (NCP) is a process that entails identifying patient needs correctly and recognizing potential needs or risks. This process provides a means of communication between patients and nurses, and other healthcare providers to achieve quality patient care. It allows for effective advanced health assessments and the determination of various patient needs. We can categorize nursing care plans as informal, formal, standardized, or individualized. Informal plans exist in nurses’ minds. Nurses record formal plans that guide their practice. For example, a nurse may have a plan to deal with patients with different types of conjunctivitis. Standardized care plans can specify need s of patients in such a category.
