NU 160 CONCEPTS IN NURSING CARE ACROSS THE LIFESPAN I



This course focuses on an integrated understanding of nursing concepts across the lifespan. Professional concepts focus on evidence-based practice and quality and safety in long-term care and rehabilitation settings. An understanding of biophysical concepts is expanded through the analysis of exemplars relating to common health problems seen across the lifespan and in a variety of healthcare settings. Interrelated psychosocial concepts are addressed. Nursing interventions that emphasize health promotion, intervention and restoration of optimal functional capacity are explored. This course is linked to the NU 161  practicum course. Failure in either NU 160 or NU 161  will require repetition of both courses. 4 Credits Prerequisites: NU 125 , NU 130 , HL 110 , EN 102 , and PS 101 . Corequisites: NU 135 , NU 161 , and CS 100 .
