NURS 4221. Child & Adolescent Nursing. 2 Hours.
Students focus on the effects of illness while exploring developmental, coping, grief, and systems theories in the care of newborn, child, and adolescent patient populations. Students also examine the conceptual impact of family, culture, and diversity on the health promotion and problems of the pediatric population and also integrate evidence-based practice and clinical reasoning through a systematic approach. The student will demonstrate developing nursing skill and knowledge through directed learning experiences. In this Academic Community Engagement (ACE) course, students collaborate with an organization and an interprofessional team as part of their field experience/clinical placement.
Prerequisite: Admission to the Nursing Program.
