CHILD HEALTH NURSING

Catalog description

Provides a theoretical and clinical practice foundation for nursing care of children and adolescents. Family-centered care is the patient-centered approach in providing nursing care to the acute and chronically ill child and adolescent. An emphasis on evidence based practice, quality improvement measurements, and patient safety principles are used as a framework to study nursing theory. The 2008 Pediatric Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice is the foundation for theory and clinical practice. Development of clinical reasoning is emphasized in this course.
