Description:

This course enables students to adapt concepts of health and illness toward the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health for clients and their families throughout the life cycle. Using the nursing process, major problems related to biopsychosocial issues, motion and oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange are discussed as they relate to the client, family and significant others emphasizing self-care. Safety, ethical/legal, physiological, cultural and spiritual concepts are integrated with each major health problem. Application of these concepts is provided for in acute care and extended care facilities, and community health agencies. As the student cares for clients and their families in a clinical setting, competencies are identified for the nursing process, client education, technical skills, communication, leadership, and roles and responsibilities.
