Course Catalog Information (24-25)
NURS 94L
Gerontology Nursing Clinical
Course Description
The focus of this course is on the application of concepts learned in the theory class for the management of nursing care of older adult patients experiencing complex health challenges and chronic changes in health status. 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 clinical simulation and observation activities. Both NURS 94L and NURS 94 must be taken and passed concurrently within the same quarter (failure of either component requires both courses to be retaken).
Student Learning Outcomes
- Formulate a plan of care for an older adult incorporating age-related changes and developmental tasks.
- Analyze and apply salient trends of comprehensive assessment data during the clinical reasoning process for an adult patient experiencing an acute or chronic problem.
