NS-255 Culturally Competent Care of the Adult with Health Alterations II
This course is designed to focus on the nursing care delivery for adult clients who experience acute medical-surgical illnesses. Knowledge is built upon concepts presented in Health Alteration I for students to gain an advanced level of understanding in providing evidence-based nursing care to improve patient outcomes. Students continue to utilize all skills and the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) and Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) core competencies necessary to fully implement the nursing process with a culturally congruent and holistic approach for diverse client populations. Participation in interprofessional teams is emphasized to address the healthcare needs of clients and their families during acute episodes of illness and in preparation for transition in levels of care. Clinical nursing experiences are provided to assist students in applying nursing theory and clinical judgment in the acute care setting.
