    Description
    In this course, students will apply theoretical concepts and practice skills to maintain and promote the four domains of care which includes the patient, professional nursing, health, illness, and the healthcare environment. Students will use the appropriate equipment and gain skill competency by practicing basic nursing skills in the skills lab. Competencies, as they relate to physical assessment, parenteral medication administration, wet-to-moist dressing change, nasogastric tube insertion, feeding and removal, and gastrostomy or jejunostomy feeding will be assessed. Emphasis will be placed on hands-on practice based on the following nursing concepts: medical and surgical asepsis, physical hygiene, vital signs, oxygenation, nutrition, body mechanics, elimination, and medication administration.
