NUR 22414 Adv Medical-Surgical Nursing II

(8 cr.) Lecture-Lab: (4-13)
(F,W)
This is a critical thinking course designed to aid students in the use of the nursing process as it relates to adult clients with acute and chronic multi-system health care problems. Emphasis is on a holistic approach that focuses on the adaptation of clients and significant others to alterations in the wellness-illness continuum and nursing’s role in this process. The complementary clinical course provides the student with clinical experiences that emphasize care for adult clients with acute and chronic health care problems. Nursing interventions focus on meeting the needs of clients with multiple health problems from a holistic perspective - wellness to illness. Application of theory to practice is critical to the learning process of students in this course. Prerequisite: Admission to an ADN Nursing Program.
