NS-250 Culturally Competent Care of the Adult with Health Alterations I
This course is designed to focus on the nursing care delivery for adult clients living with medical-surgical chronic illnesses. Each body system is presented with an evidence-based approach for students to gain knowledge and skills in providing appropriate nursing interventions. Emphasis is placed upon nursing responsibilities and the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) and Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) core competencies related to patient-centered care, communication with interprofessional teams, and the use of informatics in health care. The concept of cultural competence is presented with its application to providing nursing care in congruence with the culture, religion, and spiritual beliefs of adults with chronic medical illness. Implementation of nursing procedures, nursing care maps, critical elements and clinical expectations using the nursing skills lab, simulation, and the acute care setting as a forum for practice is included. The nursing laboratory is used to facilitate the transfer of knowledge from the classroom to the clinical setting. Essential concepts include prioritization, communication, providing patient education, and facilitating continuity of care following discharge.
