Description:

This course introduces the learner to the framework of the Oregon Consortium Nursing Education (OCNE) curriculum. The emphasis is on health promotion across the life span including self-health as well as client health practices. To support self and client health practices, students learn to access and read research literature about healthy lifestyle patterns, risk factors for disease/illness, and interventions to promote health behavior change. Students learn to conduct age-apropriate and culturally sensitive assessments about client health practices and risks, recognize roles of a multidisciplinary team, give and receive feedback about performance, and use reflective thinking about their practice as nursing students. Screening of healthy school aged children, teaching the family experiencing a normal pregnancy, interventions to prevent substance abuse and motivational interactions with healthy, community-dwelling older adults are exemplars. Prerequisite: Acceptance into the nursing program. 5 hr lecture/seminar; 12 hrs lab/wk.
