Credit(s): 2
2 hours lecture, 2 hours contact
This course prepares the student for nursing practice throughout the life cycle of women and the neonate, in the context of their respective families. The focus of this course is on the physiologic, pathologic, social and cultural issues that impact women during different stages of the life cycle. During the childbearing period, the course will address not only those issues that impact this particular stage of the life-cycle, but also roles and relationships within the family and with the newborn. Plans for nursing interventions emphasize the holistic nature of woman’s health, patho-physiological concepts and therapeutic nutrition, for both the woman and the newborn. In the synthesis courses the student’s learning is enhanced through simulations, group discussions, case studies, clinical assessments and teaching plans.
