Clinical Management in Child Health Nursing

Catalog description

In this course, students focus on primary health care and family-centered nursing for the child. Students apply the concepts of pediatric growth and development to managing care for children experiencing acute or chronic illnesses. Students use critical thinking skills to search for and identify the best available evidence and then determine the most appropriate interventions for caring for children with acute and/or chronic illnesses. The clinical experience, in various primary, episodic, long-term, home, or complex health care settings, provides exposure to information technologies, opportunities for evidence-based practice, and competency development in clinical reasoning and pediatric patient care management.
