NURS 91B
Fundamentals of Nursing/Sub-Acute
Course Description
This course explores fundamental nursing concepts and common chronic health challenges affecting aging adults. Students will begin to integrate the findings of health assessment with their knowledge of pathophysiology, pharmacology, and fundamentals of nursing in order to develop knowledge and skills required for the management of nursing care of patients requiring rehabilitative and/or long-term nursing care. Both NURS 91B and NURS 91BL must be taken and passed concurrently within the same quarter. Failure of either component requires both courses to be retaken.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Incorporate patient/family teaching into the plan of care for a non-acute older adult patient.
- Identify salient assessment data for non-acute adult patients experiencing chronic health problems.
