NUR 22909 - Med Surg III/Peds II

The theory content of this course introduces nursing students to the role of the associate degree registered nurse in providing nursing care to adult and pediatric patients. Medical-surgical content focuses on the care of adult patients with conditions related to endocrine, hematology/oncology, renal and genitourinary systems, burns, trauma, and emergency medicine. Growth and developmental concepts are further explored with an emphasis on the needs of older adults. Pediatric content provides a comprehensive overview of illnesses and conditions commonly encountered in pediatric nursing practice. Students will examine the etiology and clinical management of acute and chronic conditions, with an emphasis on age-appropriate nursing interventions, pediatric dosage calculations, and the physiological and developmental needs of children. The course integrates family-centered care, patient education, and strategies to promote health and prevent illness. The nursing process, Clinical Judgement Measurement Model (CJMM), communication and collaboration skills, use of technology, teaching-learning principles, and legal/ethical considerations supported by evidence-based practice are continued. The clinical component of this course utilizes acute healthcare delivery settings to provide students with opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge and nursing skills in the care of adult and pediatric patients.
