Description
Lifespan II includes and expands on knowledge from prior courses that concentrate on the health and illness for individuals and families across the lifespan. By collaborating with peers and other members of the healthcare team, and the use of effective critical thinking skills, the students will develop plans of care for patients in a variety of settings. Use of the nursing process, evidence-based practice and quality improvement initiatives will enable the student to integrate health promotion, nutritional concepts and the use of technology, including electronic medical records, into their individual plans of care. Subject areas include caring for the client experiencing perioperative care, altered sensory output, respiratory, circulatory, vascular, hematologic, integumentary, immune disorders, cancer, pain, and critically ill episodes. There is a clinical component to this course. Prerequisite: NURS 211, NURS 211 LS, NURS 212, NURS 201 Corequisite: NURS 220 S
