Course Description

Foundations of Nursing in Acute Care II and End of Life-A
|
- W/Sp This course builds on Nursing in Acute Care I focusing on more complex
and/or unstable patient care situations, some of which require strong
recognition skills, rapid decision-making and care of the terminally ill.
The evidence base supporting appropriate focused assessments and effective,
efficient nursing interventions is explored. Life span factors, cultural
variables and legal aspects of care frame the ethical decision-making
employed in patient choices for treatment or palliative care within the acute
care setting. Case scenarios incorporate prioritizing care needs, delegation
and supervision, and family and patient teaching for discharge planning.
