NUR 4015 - Women's and Reproductive Health

5 cr

This course integrates prior knowledge into patient-centered care of women and those with reproductive health concerns across the life span and continuum of care. Using a developmental and systems-based approach, common age-related findings and concerns, pathophysiologic conditions and concerns, and life threatening conditions are explored. Key examples of conditions that are disproportionately found among women or for which the diagnosis or treatment may differ from men are highlighted. 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.
