Primary Care Nursing II

Catalog description

This is the second in a series of three sequential courses, using a systems-based approach, focusing on the care of patients in primary care. This course builds upon previous knowledge and further integrates the management of selected common acute and chronic health problems of increasing complexity, in older adolescents, adults and older adults in various settings and in collaboration with other members of the healthcare team. Age and population-focused guidelines and tools for screening and management of diagnoses are incorporated to assist the student in the development of comprehensive management plans, including palliative and end of life care. A supervised practicum, with a focus on primary care, provides opportunities for application of clinical concepts in actual practice.
