Course Catalog Information (24-25)
NURS 94AL
Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing Clinical
Course Description
The focus of this course is on the application of concepts learned in the theory class to the management of nursing care of clients experiencing psychiatric and mental health challenges. Students will use nursing processes, research, problem-solving and critical thinking skills to facilitate culturally congruent care in acute care settings within the framework of safe patient-centered, evidence-based care. Learning experiences will be enhanced with observation activities. Both NURS 94AL and NURS 94A must be taken and passed concurrently within the same quarter (failure of either component requires both courses to be retaken).
Student Learning Outcomes
- Assess, plan, implement and evaluate a plan of care for patient with a psychiatric diagnosis.
- Identify concepts that link learning in the clinical setting to knowledge gained from the course textbook.
- Analyze own personal responses to selected clinical observations and experiences.
