NURS 416S - Care of Children Synthesis


Credit(s): 2
 This is the clinical component to NURS 416  . This clinical course prepares the student for nursing practice with children within the context of their respective families. The course will address physiologic issues of the lifecycle, roles and relationships within the family. The focus of the child-rearing period will be to address families with children from birth through adolescence. The course will address children with acute and chronic health conditions and psychosocial changes that occur during childhood. Within the caring-healing framework, using an inter-professional structure, students develop a nursing plan of care with evidence-based nursing interventions. There is an emphasis on the multi-cultural, holistic nature of clients and their families in the community and the global healthcare system. Through the use of discussions of case studies and clinical assessments appropriate care plans are developed for in this synthesis course.
