Chronicity Within Nursing Care - Clinical

Catalog description

Chronic disease management is one of the four spheres of nursing care. The concepts of chronicity and chronic care delivery will be examined in this course. The nursing process will be used to develop, implement, and evaluate an evidence-based plan of care for a complex patient experiencing chronic illness. You will assess the physical, mental, functional, and sociocultural dimensions that contribute to quality of life, chronic syndromes, and frailty. Working with an interprofessional team, you will apply the concepts of chronic care management for an individual living with chronic illness. You will complete clinical practice experiences in this course.
