Lecture: 5 Lab: 0 Practica: 2 Total Credits: 7
Adult Health Nursing II continues to build on students’ ability to relate concepts, skills and techniques needed to care for adult clients with acute and chronic health problems through classroom and clinical experiences. This course encompasses the concepts of caring, collaboration, communication, competence, clinical skills, cultural sensitivity, community, and environment into nursing practice. The course focuses on nursing practice that facilitates the wellbeing of individuals within the context of illness and continues in preparing the student as a provider of care. In the clinical setting, students will care for selected patients in various settings, applying knowledge of pathophysiology and psychosocial dynamics for patients with medical and/or surgical problems. Students will apply the nursing process employing information technologies to develop critical inquiry and clinical decision making to meet the needs of culturally diverse, ill adults while collaborating with other health care professionals. Concepts include problems related to musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, neurologic, and endocrine theory.
