Why is health assessment important as a nursing subject?
The practice of "nursing" or delivering nursing care rests upon the health assessment. A health assessment asks about or observes every area of the body, mental and social health, and identifies problems through the assessment.

A lack of nursing assessment would be like asking an everyday citizen to perform open heart surgery: A nurse, with proper education, training, and assessment skills can perform nursing duties that promote and protect the health and well-being of each patient.
