NUR 5320 ADULT GERONTOLOGY ACUTE CARE II
This is the second in a sequence of three courses that explores, at an advanced level, the pathophysiology, assessment, diagnosis, and collaborative management of patients encountered across the continuum of acute care settings ranging from disease prevention to acute and critical care management. This includes problems associated with aging, neurological, ear, eye, nose and throat, musculoskeletal, hematological as well as mental health. Each student demonstrates his or her ability to analyze, integrate, and synthesize pathophysiologic concepts for collaborative management of acute health problems in the adult and gerontologic population; case study analysis and write-ups, content quizzes and a comprehensive didactic content examination satisfy course goals. This course centers on current theories, practice and research central to advanced knowledge and practice in nursing care.
