Institution:

Antelope Valley College

Subject:

Description:

4 units (32 hours lecture, 96 hours clinic) (8 weeks) Limitation on Enrollment: Formal admission to ADN Program. Prerequisite: Completion of NS 101 with a grade of "C" or better. Course is based on Orem's Self-Care Theory as applied to the care of women from the age of menarche throughout the life span. The concept that each patient should be involved as much as possible in the decisions and activities connected with their own health maintenance and restoration, and with the child-bearing processes is presented. The course provides theory and guided clinical practice to promote an understanding of normal and pathophysiological processes in relation to women and their health; the self-care practices and nursing actions which promote health and well-being of women and newborns; self-care practices that support a developmental environment for the growing fetus and neonate; and self-care practices and nursing actions that prevent deleterious effects from pathological conditions and events related to sexuality, the female reproductive system, and childbearing. The supportive educative role of the nurse is emphasized with the goal of fostering the self-care agency of each patient. (CSU, AVC)
