Transfers ToCSUDescriptionNURSNG 30 and NURSNG 30L must be taken concurrently. The focus of this nursing laboratory course is to provide the continuing student with the opportunity to apply increasingly complex medical-surgical concepts of care for adults with health deviations. Students will assess, plan, provide, and evaluate the provision of nursing assistance in the clinical laboratory. The Orem’s Self-Care Model will be used as a framework to safely meet nursing needs of the patient with gastrointestinal, renal, oncological, hematological, female reproductive, and immune system disorders. Students will assess the adult and older adult’s self-care requisites, determine the therapeutic self-care demand, and apply the nursing process. Professional role development is integrated throughout, along with application of critical thinking, communication theory, clinical judgment, and sound reasoning. Laboratory experiences will be held in the acute care or community setting.
