NS-211 Culturally Competent Care of the Child-Rearing Family
This course is designed to focus on family-centered care to meet the needs of the child rearing family. Relationships among family members, children, and adolescents are discussed. Clinical settings provide an opportunity to integrate and correlate theory and the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) and Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) core competencies by caring for children with health problems from infancy through adolescence. The concept of cultural competence in assessment and nursing care interventions of the family is emphasized for the development of children. Essential concepts include prioritization, communication, providing patient education and facilitating continuity of care following discharge. Students are expected to successfully complete the NYS approved Child Abuse and Maltreatment program.
