NRSG 533 Care Management II: Adult and Child Health

This course is the second of three courses focused on evidence-based, patient-centered nursing care for patients throughout the life cycle. Concepts build upon the student’s previously acquired knowledge and skills and promote personal and professional growth development in the application of safe, quality patient care. Learning experiences within the classroom, skills laboratory, simulation center, and direct patient care settings will engage direct-entry MSN students in the maintenance of oxygenation, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and integumentary functions as well as bio-psychosocial-spiritual assessments and the implementation of nursing interventions to enhance and promote adaptation for the child, adult, and family.
