NUR-414 Adult/Elder Hlth Nurs II

"This course is built on knowledge and experiences acquired in NUR 314. The focus is on acute and restorative nursing interventions for adults and elders. Students use the nursing process to explore client health care needs and coping strategies. Appropriate resources are identified to assist in meeting these needs with consideration to heatlh care policy, economic status, and other networks specific to these populations. Critical thinking skills are emphasized as students, partnering with the family and the interdisciplinary team, plan, implement, and evaluate nursing interventions that are appropriate and culturally sensitive. Relevant research findings are considered as appropriate. Partnerships include service-learning opportunities. Clinical learning experiences occur in community-based hospitals and other care setttings.(Offered every spring semester.)"
