NU 211 - Care of Adults

Students are introduced to the holistic care of adults experiencing medical/surgical conditions requiring hospitalization in the acute care setting. Content is introduced in class discussion; clinical experiences and conferences reinforce concepts presented in class. The nursing process is used as the organizing framework in the delivery, and evaluation of nursing care aimed at restoring and maintaining the client’s optimal state of health. Students will have an observation experience in the operating room with an opportunity to meet the surgical patient preoperatively, observe surgery, and accompany the patient through immediate recovery.
