    (6) This course introduces the learner to assessment and common interventions (including relevant technical procedures) for care of patients across the life span who require acute care, including normal childbirth. (Disease/illness trajectories and their translation into clinical practice guidelines and/or standard procedures are considered in relation to their impact on providing culturally sensitive, client-centered care. Includes classroom and clinical learning experiences. Prerequisite: NRS 110/NRS 210. Corequisites: NRS 231 and NRS 233.
  • 3.00 Credits

    (9) This course introduces the learner to framework of the OCNE curriculum. The emphasis on health promotion across the life span includes learning about self-health as well as client health practices. To support self and client health practices, students learn to access research evidence about healthy lifestyle patterns and risk factors for disease/illness, apply growth and development theory, interview clients in a culturally-sensitive manner, work as members of a multidisciplinary team giving and receiving feedback about performance, and use reflective thinking about their practice as nursing students. The family experiencing a normal pregnancy is a major exemplar. Includes classroom and clinical learning experiences. Prerequisite: Anatomy and Physiology.

    (6) This course introduces assessment and common interventions (including technical procedures) for clients with chronic illnesses common across the life span in major ethnic groups within Oregon. The client and family's "lived experience" of thillness, coupled with clinical practice guidelines and extant research evidence is used to guide clinical judgments in care to the chronically ill. Roles of multidisciplinary team in care of the chronically ill, and legal aspects of delegations are explored. Through case scenarios, cultural, ethical, health policy, and health care delivery system issues are explored in the context of the chronic illness care. Case exemplars include children with asthma, adolescent with a mood disorder, Type II diabetes, and older adults with dementia. Includes classroom and clinical learning experiences. (Prerequisite: NRS 110, NRS 210: concurrent with NRS 230 and NRS 232).

    (9) This course builds on Foundations of Nursing in Chronic Illness I. The evidence base related to family care giving and symptom management is a major focus and basis for nursing interventions with patients and families. Ethical issues related to advocacy, selfdetermination, and autonomy are explored. Complex skills associated with symptom management, negotiating in interdisciplinary teams, and the impact of individual and family development cultural beliefs are included in the context of client and familycentered care. Exemplars include patients with chronic mental illness and well as other chronic conditions and disabilities affecting functional status and family relationships. Includes classroom and clinical learning experiences. (Can follow Nursing in Acute Care II and End-of-Life). Prerequisites: Completion of First year of Nursing Curriculum: NRS 110/NRS 210; NRS 111/NRS 211; NRS 112/NRS 212; Nurs 230, NRS 231, NRS 232, NRS 233.

    (9) This course builds on Nursing in Acute Care I focusing on more complex and/or unstable patient care situations some of which require strong recognitional skills, rapid decision making, and some of which may result in death. The evidence base supporting appropriate focused assessments, and effective, efficient nursing interventions is explored. Life span and developmental factors, cultural variables, and legal aspects of care frame the ethical decision-making employed in patient choices for treatment or palliative care within the acute care setting. Case scenarios incorporate prioritizing care needs, delegation and supervision, family and patient teaching for discharge planning or end-of-life care. Exemplars include acute psychiatric disorders and pregnancy-related complications as well as acute conditions affecting multiple body systems. Includes classroom and clinical learning experiences. (Can follow Nursing in Chronic Illness II and End-of-Life Care). Prerequisites: Completion of First year of Nursing Curriculum: NRS 110/NRS 210; NRS 111/NRS 211; NRS 112/NRS 212; NRS 230, NRS 231, NRS 232, NRS 233.

    (3) This course introduces the theoretical background that enables students to provide safe and effective care related to drugs and natural products to persons throughout the lifespan. Students will learn to make selected clinical decisions regarding medication administration using current, reliable sources of information, understanding of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, developmental physiologic considerations, monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of drug therapy, teaching persons from diverse populations regarding safe and effective use of drugs and natural products, intervening to increase therapeutic benefits and reduce potential negative effects, and communicating appropriately with other health professionals regarding drug therapy. Drugs are studied by therapeutic or pharmacological class using an organized framework, with attention to physiological conditions, including anxiety and depression. Prerequisites: Anatomy and Physiology sequence; Microbiology.

    (3) This sequel to Clinical Pharmacology I continues to provide the theoretical background that enables students to provide safe and effective care related to drugs and natural products to persons throughout the lifespan. Students will learn to make selected clinical decisions regarding using current, reliable sources of information, monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of drug therapy, teaching persons from diverse populations regarding safe and effective use of drugs and natural products, intervening to increase therapeutic benefits and reduce potential negative effects, and communicating appropriately with other health professionals regarding drug therapy. The course addresses additional classes of drugs and related natural products and physiological conditions (e.g. postpartum depression and schizophrenia) not contained in Clinical Pharmacology I. Prerequisites: NRS 230.

    (3) This course introduces pathophysiological processes that contribute to many different disease states across the lifespan and human responses to those processes. Students will learn to make selective clinical decisions regarding using current, reliable sources of pathophysiology information, selecting and interpreting focused assessments based on knowledge of pathophysiological processes, teaching persons from diverse populations regarding pathophysiological processes, and communicating with other health professionals regarding pathophysiological processes. Prerequisites: Anatomy and Physiology sequence; Microbiology.
