NRSG2550 : Adult Health Nursing I

Adult Health Nursing 1 focuses on the professional nurse providing patient-centered care of adults with chronic and/or non-emergent medical and/or surgical health alterations. The learning experience will emphasize the use of the nursing process and quality care principles to reduce risk and increase patient outcomes. Utilizing the building blocks from prior courses, students will expand their knowledge of basic care principles to include nutrition, application of pharmacological concepts, psychosocial, and physiological integrity. Critical thinking will be at the forefront of learning experiences to highlight the role of the nurse in error prevention, prioritization, and delegation. Further, students will explore evidence-based practice and interprofessional collaboration as tools to enhance patient outcomes. In the clinical environment, the student is provided opportunities to harness the knowledge gained in the didactic environment in order to promote healthy behaviors and implement safe care for clients.
