NRSG 531 Care Management I: Adult and Child Health

This course is the first of three courses focused on evidence-based, patient-centered nursing care for patients throughout the life cycle. Concepts related to patient and staff safety, care quality and management, interprofessional collaboration, health teaching, and developmentally appropriate interventions are emphasized throughout the series. Students will acquire the knowledge and skills essential to make sound clinical judgements for the promotion, restoration, and maintenance of optimal health and wellness for diverse patients. Learning experiences within the classroom, skills laboratory, simulation center, and direct patient care settings will engage direct-entry MSN students in the care of the surgical patient, maintenance of fluid and electrolyte/acid-base balance, and care of the patient regarding musculoskeletal system, inflammation/infection, urological system, genetics, immune system, cancer, end-of-life care, and connective tissue disorders.
