NSG 4100 Health Promotion in the Community


Lecture: 4 Lab: 0 Practica: 2 Total Credits: 6
Community Health Nursing focuses on population-based nursing care in diverse settings. The principles of professional nursing care are applied to individuals, families and groups and are integrated throughout the health- illness continuum. Health needs are addressed using nursing theory and research with knowledge from the humanities, biological and social sciences. This course further explores population-focused decision making, community-based strategies for health promotion and disease prevention, primary care services, and transcultural nursing which are emerging issues at the forefront of healthcare services. The clinical component is designed to allow the nursing student the opportunity to synthesize knowledge and skills learned from this course and to integrate them into a capstone experience, which is evidence based and related to Healthy People 2020.
