NSG 7441 Primary Care of Infants, Children, and Adolescents Practicum
Lecture: 0 Lab: 0 Practica: 6 Total Credits: 6
This clinical course covers the primary care management of infants, children, and adolescents across the health-illness continuum. It emphasizes health maintenance and illness prevention and also covers major causes of morbidity. A family-centered developmental perspective is used in the assessment and management of common acute and chronic conditions from infancy through young adulthood. The focus is on strategies for this population in rural and underserved areas. This is the first of three sequential courses that apply the nursing process through communication and assessment skills, interpretation of findings, application of diagnostic methods, developing plans of care, and implementing nursing strategies to promote personal, cognitive, and physical health. Clinical hours are completed in pediatric and women’s health settings.
