NURS 349 - Adult Health Nursing I

5 hours
The theoretical foundation of holistic nursing care for adults with acute and chronic illnesses and the application of that theory are the focus of this medical-surgical course. Clinical judgment and skills are developed by refining the nursing analysis of the patient’s history and symptom severity, establishing rationales and priorities for nursing and collaborative interventions, and evaluating the patient response to various treatment modalities. A variety of clinical areas and simulated clinical case scenarios provide the students with a diverse patient population in order to highlight evidence-based interventions. Students are expected to exhibit ethical, moral, spiritual, and professional behaviors. Prerequisite(s): NURS 180, NURS 206, NURS 207, NURS 227, NURS 388, FACS 126, SOCY 120.
