Care of clients in acute care settings, preoperative surgical specialties, emergency care, palliative care, rehabilitation and community clinical based care. The emphasis is on critical thinking within the framework of the nursing process. The course focuses on the principles and rationale underlying nursing actions utilizing a problem solving approach, integrated multi-system assessment of clients with complex needs. Discharge planning and assisting the client to transition to community settings will also be included, integrating knowledge from previous courses. In the nursing skills lab, and in simulation-based experiences utilizing the underlying theoretical principles, learners will develop psychomotor nursing skills to provide safe, competent care for clients requiring medical or surgical interventions.
