    Description
    This advanced level medical/surgical nursing course integrates the components of theory, clinical, and simulation that focuses on evidence-based, patient-centered nursing care of adult patients with complex illness and needs within a variety of health-care settings. Emphasis is placed on assessment of risk factors affecting patient's health and wellness. Students implement the nursing process and integrate Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs concepts to assess, analyze, prioritize, plan and evaluate and modify a plan of nursing care. Pharmacological principles specific to complex patients are discussed. The course builds upon concepts introduced in Nursing 269 and Nursing 271; Professional standards, patient advocacy, spiritual-cultural diversity, legal/ethical issues, and effective communication and collaboration with members of the healthcare team are discussed.
