Maternal-Child Nursing

Catalog description

This course requires the integration of theory and evidence-based practice to maternal and newborn nursing. Family-centered care provides the framework for this course. In addition, students will participate in competency-based simulated learning experiences to gain evidence-based clinical judgment in the care of antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum women with acute conditions. Newborn simulated experiences will focus on the delivery of the newborn and evidence-based judgment in initial care and assessment. The focus will be on health promotion, disease prevention, and family-centered care of diverse populations.
