Fundamentals of Nursing is an accelerated course with emphasis on concepts, skills and techniques needed to provide a foundation for professional nursing practice. The course focuses on nursing practice that facilitates the wellbeing of individuals within the context of illness and continues preparing the student as a provider of care. Major concepts include hygiene; infection control; vital signs; exercise and safety; nursing process; mobility and immobility; communication, client education, documentation, medication administration, spirituality; cultural sensitivity; loss and grief; fluid and electrolytes; oxygenations; urinary and bowel elimination; skin integrity and wound care; surgical care; sleep and sensory alterations. Laboratory experiences provide opportunity for integration of skills and concepts. Clinical experiences allow further development of concepts as applied to clients along the health-illness continuum.

Health promotion, disease prevention, and restorative nursing care will be considered within each topic, as appropriate. (LPN/BSN Option)
