NRSG-1016Nursing Management of Acute Conditions
This course builds on previously registered nurses' knowledge and experience about nursing care of adults experiencing acute health status changes. This course will review basic theory/concepts of medical/surgical nursing, diagnostic tests and common treatments. Client-centred care, differences across the lifespan, and the effects of sudden illness or injury on individuals and their significant others are examined. The role of the nurse is examined in assisting clients and families to engage in health promotion, prevention and management of acute health conditions. Using exemplars of common acute alterations in health status, students will apply the nursing process.
