NURS 220 - Nursing Across the Lifespan II

5 Credit Hours

Lifespan II includes and expands on knowledge from prior courses that concentrate on the health and illness for individuals and families across the lifespan and the pathophysiological changes that occur with disease processes. By collaborating with peers and other members of the healthcare team along with 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, risk reduction, physiological adaptation, pharmacological and parental therapies, nutrition, and basic care and comfort within the context of adult medical-surgical and geriatric populations, fostering the development of safe, holistic care plans.
