Description:

An integral component of this course is the ongoing assessment of the needs of the childbearing family. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory is utilized as a means to assess client needs and prioritize nursing care. The appreciation of holistic concepts and the influence of culture on childbearing are explored. The interaction of the individual, the family, and the community as client is examined along with multiple aspects of care that facilitate the student exploration of the legal, ethical, and professional environment. Nursing care of women during antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum periods is presented, and opportunities for practical application of concepts are scheduled. The health needs of the newborn and child are examined as the student incorporates principles of growth and development in the interaction with the family. Clinical laboratory practice offers an opportunity for the students to provide teaching-learning experiences for the childbearing family as needed. Through utilization of the nursing process, students learn how to organize care and intervene as needed for the childbearing family. The role of the nurse as provider and manager of care in the nursing care of families is explored. Prerequisites: NUR 101, 103, 104, 212.
