NUR 4022 - Pediatric Health Nursing

5 cr

This course integrates prior knowledge into patient- and family-centered care of the pediatric patient (newborn through young adulthood). Using both a developmental and a systems-based approach, normal age-related finding and concerns, common pathophysiologic conditions and concerns, and life threatening concerns are emphasized. Care is delivered in a variety of settings and focuses on the application of the nursing process and levels of prevention including health promotion, risk reduction, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, palliation or end-of-life care. Critical thinking, clinical problem solving, patient-centered care, evidence-based practice, patient safety, infection control, teaching and learning, and mutually respectful communication are emphasized through clinical and didactic experiences.
