NUR 460 - Community and Public Health Nursing
Credit(s): 5
This course introduces students to the concepts and principles of community health and the practice of public health nursing. The nursing process will be applied to the care of individuals, families, and groups within the community. The course content and group activities will emphasize community health measures, which promote and maintain the health of the community. Research-based knowledge of public health science will be incorporated, understanding of health team relationships broadened, and knowledge about the range of patient care expanded. Legal and ethical issues in public health will also be examined. Students will apply nursing science and public health concepts to develop strategies to address health problems in the community. The framework of primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of prevention will be utilized in the provision of community- and population-focused care. Determinants of health and disease patterns in the United States and in the global context will be analyzed to understand how health might be improved for all. Selected community resources will be utilized for guided clinical experiences to meet the needs of patients while providing community-based, public health and community health care. FA
