NUR 607 is SNHU’s Advanced Health Assessment course. It centers on documenting assessment the way another clinician needs to read it: a history of present illness developed along its dimensions, a review of systems kept subjective, an examination recorded system by system in measured terms, pertinent negatives written down, screening matched to age and risk and cited to its recommending body, and an assessment that follows from the data above it. Every module below opens a full sample paper or takes a free request for one; searches like "nur 607 module 3", "NUR607 sample paper" and "NUR 607 milestone example" land on this page.
What NUR 607 is really about
NUR 607 is the advanced health assessment course in the SNHU MSN family nurse practitioner sequence. Its rubrics treat the write-up as the evidence of the examination: scope that fits the visit, sections in the standard order, findings as measurements, a clean line between what the patient reports and what the examiner observes, and health promotion tied to current recommendations with their year.
Samples on this shelf apply those standards to composite patients: a 52-year-old with a new neck lump, a 34-year-old establishing care, a 17-year-old with a murmur at a sports physical, a 24-year-old with lower right abdominal pain, a 13-year-old whose blood pressure and BMI need careful measurement, a warehouse worker with acute back pain, a 56-year-old with a new headache and a 79-year-old losing weight. Patients are composites; the guidelines, decision rules and screening recommendations are real.
What NUR 607’s modules ask for
Across ten modules, NUR 607 typically asks for discussions on assessment principles, focused history and physical write-ups by body system, milestone submissions toward a comprehensive assessment, a pediatric write-up and a final comprehensive history and physical with health promotion, closing with a reflection on assessment practice.
Where students lose points in NUR 607
The most common NUR 607 deduction is a finding written as an impression, such as swollen or normal, where a measurement or description belongs. The second is review of systems blurred into examination, with patient reports placed under objective findings. Graders also mark down write-ups missing the pertinent negatives that rule out dangerous causes, and screening recommendations given without the recommending body and year. The fix is to measure, keep subjective and objective apart, write the negatives that matter for the complaint and cite each screening decision.
The NUR 607 drawers
NUR 607 Module 1 Discussion example
A first discussion post that takes three documentation errors every new nurse practitioner sees, a symptom recorded as a finding, an impression recorded as a measurement and a template that says normal, and rewrites each so the line between what the patient said and what the examiner found is clear.

NUR 607 Module 2 Focused HEENT Note example
A focused head and neck write-up for a composite 52-year-old man with a painless lump under his left jaw for five weeks. It documents the node's size, consistency and mobility, the history that raises concern, the oral and pharyngeal findings and a plan that follows the adult neck mass guideline instead of prescribing antibiotics. Full sample paper, read it free.
NUR 607 Module 3 Milestone One example
The first milestone records a new patient's full history, here a composite woman of 34 establishing care, written in standard order from identifying data to a full review of systems, followed by a screening plan in which each recommendation is tied to its recommending body and year, including hereditary breast cancer risk from her mother's diagnosis at 44. Full sample paper, read it free.
NUR 607 Module 4 Focused Cardiac Exam example
A focused cardiovascular write-up for a composite 17-year-old soccer player whose sports physical turns up a systolic murmur that grows louder when he stands and strains. It documents the 14-element cardiovascular screen, the dynamic maneuvers and the family history that together call for holding clearance and referring. Full sample paper, read it free.
NUR 607 Module 5 Focused Abdominal Note example
A focused abdominal write-up for a composite 24-year-old woman with 18 hours of lower right abdominal pain and a period seven weeks ago. It documents the abdominal and pelvic findings, the appendicitis signs that were and were not present and the positive pregnancy test that moves ectopic pregnancy to the top of the differential. Full sample paper, read it free.
NUR 607 Module 6 Pediatric Well Visit example
A well visit write-up for a composite 13-year-old girl whose first blood pressure reading is 132/80 by machine and whose BMI sits above the 95th percentile. It documents the repeat reading by auscultation with the right cuff, classifies both findings with the current pediatric guidelines and records a confidential psychosocial interview and depression screen. Full sample paper, read it free.
NUR 607 Module 7 Milestone Two example
Milestone Two: a focused musculoskeletal and neurologic write-up for a composite 42-year-old warehouse worker with three days of low back pain after lifting. It documents every red flag question, straight leg raising with its limits, a full lower-extremity neurologic exam by nerve root and a plan without imaging. Full sample paper, read it free.
NUR 607 Module 8 Focused Neurologic Note example
A focused neurologic write-up for a composite 56-year-old man with a new right-sided headache, scalp tenderness and tiredness in his jaw when chewing. It screens the history against the SNNOOP10 red flags, documents a full neurologic and visual examination and a tender, thickened temporal artery, and starts steroids the same day. Full sample paper, read it free.
NUR 607 Module 9 Final Project example
The final comprehensive history and physical for a composite 79-year-old widow who has lost 9% of her weight in six months. It carries a full history, review of systems and head-to-toe examination with a geriatric assessment of nutrition, mood, cognition and falls, then builds a differential that includes her dentures, her grief and her metformin before cancer. Full sample paper, read it free.
NUR 607 Module 10 Journal example
An end-of-course reflection by an emergency department nurse moving into family practice on what a term of write-ups taught: that a note is only as useful as the next reader's ability to trust it, seen through a lump measured instead of described, a base of tongue marked not seen and a blood pressure repeated before it was believed.

Using a NUR 607 sample the right way
Read a NUR 607 sample for its documentation habits. Each one develops the present illness along its dimensions, keeps the review of systems subjective, records the examination in measured terms, writes the negatives that matter and ties every screening decision to its source and year. Send your template, the scenario and the rubric, and the first custom sample comes back free in 24-48h.
NUR 607 questions, answered
What does NUR 607 focus on?
Advanced history taking, physical examination and documentation across the life span, with focused and comprehensive write-ups, differential reasoning and health promotion for family practice.
Is NUR 607 graded on the exam or on the write-up?
Examination skills are practiced in lab or immersion settings, but written assignments are graded on documentation: correct sections, measured findings, pertinent negatives and cited screening. Check your section's Brightspace materials for its template.
What makes a strong NUR 607 history and physical?
A present illness developed along its dimensions, a subjective review of systems, a system-by-system examination in measured terms, pertinent negatives, an assessment that follows from the data and screening tied to current recommendations.
