    Description
    This intermediate level medical/surgical nursing course integrates the components of theory, clinical, and simulation that focus on evidence-based, patient-centered nursing care of multiple adult patients with acute illness and needs within a variety of health care settings. Emphasis is placed on assessment of risk factors affecting patients' health and wellness. Students implement the Nursing Process and integrate Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs concepts to assess, analyze, prioritize, and plan the needs of the adult with acute illness to formulate, organize, implement, and evaluate a plan of nursing care. Pharmacological principles specific to acutely-ill patients are discussed. This course builds upon concepts introduced in Nursing 267 and Nursing 268; Professional standards, patient advocacy, spiritual-cultural diversity, legal/ethical issues, and effective communication and collaboration with members of the health care team are discussed.
