Emphasis is on the critical role of the Practical Nurse in the collection of data, and planning and implementing care for patients from diverse backgrounds experiencing equally diverse and complicated health problems. Medication dose calculation and administration, preand post-operative care, fluid and electrolyte management, infectious diseases, physical assessment, pain management strategies and interventions, diagnostic tests and common pathologies of the hematologic, lymphatic, sensory, endocrine, reproductive, integumentary, and immune systems will receive primary focus in the theoretical, skills laboratory and clinical settings. Emergency response preparation will be addressed both theoretically and practically. Lecture ( 45.00) Laboratory ( 30.00) Clinical ( 225.00) Prerequisites: NUR-115, FNS-105 and SRG-111
