  • NRS 210: Foundations of Nursing-Health Promotion

    3.00 Credits
    Oregon Institute of Technology

    (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.

  • NRS 211: Foundations of Nursing in Chronic Illness I

    3.00 Credits
    Oregon Institute of Technology

    (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.

    3.00 Credits
    Oregon Institute of Technology

    (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).
