Complex Health: Family Clinical

Catalog description

Prerequisite: Acceptance to Year Two of the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program. This course develops the student’s ability to provide safe, client-centered, and evidence-based nursing care for clients with complex and multisystem health needs. Emphasis is placed on clinical judgment, prioritization, delegation, and interprofessional collaboration in the provision of care. Students apply advanced health assessment techniques appropriate to the ADN scope of practice, utilize the nursing process to manage evolving client conditions, and integrate legal, ethical, and cultural considerations into decision-making. Clinical application of concepts from NURS 227 is demonstrated in supervised settings that reflect current standards of professional nursing practice and support progression toward entry-level registered nurse competencies as defined by the Missouri State Board of Nursing.
