NUR 440 - Adult Health Nursing II


Credit(s): 8
This course merges best evidence and best practices with planning and implementing appropriate nursing interventions to provide safe and effective care for adults experiencing acute health issues. Students will build upon the key learnings from the Adult Health I course and continue to develop their skills in critical thinking, problem-solving and clinical judgment and use the nursing process to deliver evidenced-based care in a variety of acute-care, patient situations. Students will assess, analyze, plan, implement, and evaluate the nursing care of adult patients in acute care facilities under direct supervision. Safe, comprehensive nursing care for patients with a wide range of disorders will be addressed, as well as the need for patient teaching and advocacy, inter-disciplinary communication, and continuity of care along the patient’s health spectrum and continuum. Cultural, spiritual, and ethical/legal issues related to critical illnesses and the end of life, including the nurse’s role in organ donation and hospice care, will be presented. Particular acute care situations, such as disasters and emergencies, will be addressed.
