    Description
    This course develops the first year nursing student's knowledge and skills as they relate to the adult non-critical moderately complex medical-surgical client. Through utilization of the nursing process, the student recognizes alterations in functioning or illness and formulates age-appropriate nursing interventions. Psychomotor skills associated with moderately complex needs, medication administration and intravenous therapy are studied and practiced. The impact of multiple nursing diagnoses on client outcomes is introduced. This course is intended for nursing students enrolled in the second semester of the Associate of Science Degree in Nursing.
