Nursing Care of the Adult II
NUR164
Systems-based approach to exploring the more acute problems with associated emergent disorders, and their effect on the adult client. Chronic, long-term impact associated with these disorders is also addressed. The use of effective interpersonal communication skills with clients, their families, and members of the health care team is expected. Pharmacology principles and rationale continue to be applied during supervised medication administration. Students develop and implement client-centered care plans. The student is expected to function progressively as a contributing member of the nursing team while caring for assigned clients with needs of moderate complexity in the acute setting. The NUR 164 content builds on the NUR 163 content; therefore, a student must successfully complete NUR 163 before proceeding into NUR 164. If a student does not successfully complete NUR 163, he/she will be withdrawn from NUR 164. 8 Credits (4 Lecture - 12 Lab) Corequisite(s): BIO125 and NUR163. Spring Only.
