    Description
    This course is designed to give the vocational nursing student an introduction to the care of the elderly client in both an institutional and a community setting. The focus is on viewing the last developmental stage of the adult as a normal progression of life, including the basic hierarchy of human needs. This stage is explored to prepare the vocational nurse for the adaptations associated with the aging process. This course is a required course that must be completed prior to students beginning the Health Occupations VN career track second semester. Non-Health Occupations students may enroll in this course as well.
