There are no prerequisites or corequisites for this unit of competency
Course Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to obtain and interpret information about client health status and to check a client’s physical health. It requires a detailed knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
This unit applies to individuals working directly with clients and who assist in the provision of health care services. Some disciplines may be subject to state/territory regulatory determination regarding delegation and supervision.
This course includes a Work Integrated Learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and
where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience.
This course includes clinical placement
National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria
National Element Code & Title: |
HLTAAP002 Confirm physical health status |
Element: |
1. Obtain information about physical health status |
Performance Criteria: |
1.1 Obtain accurate information about physical health status through observation, questioning or review of documentation 1.2 Interpret information based on understanding of the structure and functioning of body systems 1.3 Use information to identify any actual or potential problems regarding health status 1.4 Take into account factors that may have impacted on an identified physical condition |
Element: |
2. Check physical health status |
Performance Criteria: |
2.1 Make checks of client health status prior to delivery of health intervention using knowledge of body systems 2.2 Clarify significance of physical health status in relation to a particular intervention in line with job role and organisation requirements 2.3 Clarify implications and significance of physical health status with appropriate people in the case of uncertainty or limits on own capability or authority |
Element: |
3. Identify variations from normal physical health status |
Performance Criteria: |
3.1 Identify variations from normal health status using standard methods and protocols 3.2 Identify potential factors responsible for significant variations from normal health status 3.3 Identify potential risk factors associated with variations from normal health status 3.4 Recognise and refer potentially serious issues in line with organisation requirements |
Learning Outcomes
The critical learning for this course takes place in clinical placement within the health sector and within simulations in RMIT.
You will be instructed in skills through demonstration, modelling and roleplay.
Skills development is supported by lectures on theory and underpinning knowledge,
classroom discussions, group work, research and reflective practice.
On completion of this course, you should be able to demonstrate the below mentioned outcomes satisfactorily -
- Obtain information about physical health status
- Check physical health status
- Identify variations from normal physical health status

Summative Assessments:
You will be required to complete 12 Online Quizzes on the following topics:
1. Cells, tissues and organs
2. Integumentary System
3. Musculo-Skeletal System
4. Nervous System
5. Special Senses
6. Endocrine system
7. Cardiovascular System
8. Respiratory System
9. Lymphatic & Immune Systems
10.Digestive System
11.Urinary System
12.Reproductive System
· All 12 quizzes need to be completed by 30/11/16
· You are required to obtain a 100% mark for each of the quiz topics
· You will be allowed three attempts for each quiz
