Abstract
Before this study, no definition of the status of physical assessment skills content existed in the two entry-level curricula in nursing and in the hospitals' expectations of the nurses they employed. This study is a nationwide survey of randomly sampled baccalaureate and associate degree nursing schools and hospitals. The survey questioned (1) the importance of the physical assessment skills in the curricula and in the hospitals, and (2) the use of these skills as provided by the schools or expected by the hospitals.
