    Description
    Fundamentals of Medical Surgical Nursing introduces the foundational concepts, knowledge and skills essential to the practice of professional nursing. This course provides an introduction for the first semester nursing student to concepts and practices as they relate to the non- critical young adult through geriatric adult in the medical surgical (and/or skilled care) environment. Through utilization of the nursing process, the student will begin to recognize alterations in physiological functioning and formulate age and acuity appropriate nursing interventions. Selected psychomotor skills associated with meeting the basic needs, medication administration, physical assessment, and sterile techniques will be studied and practiced. (L,M)
