Untitled document
This is the first theory course of the part time vocational nursing program. Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory is used as a framework for the study of nursing fundamentals, nursing process, basic pharmacology, med administration, and standard nursing/medical care for a variety of disease states. The course compares and contrasts nursing care systems employed in health maintenance, acute illness, chronic illness and rehab. Adapting nursing care to meet the needs of the elderly is also a focus. The course contains much of the same theory found in NRV 51 of the full time program.
Prerequisites/Corequisites:
Course Completion of FDNT 62 and Course Completion of ANAT 58 and Course Completion of PHYZ 58 ( or PHYSIO 58) and Course Completion of HLC 160 ( or HLC 60) and Course Completion of CSKLS 100 ( or CSKL 100 or CSKL 374 or CSKL 373B) and Course Completion of NRA 51.1 ( or NRA 51)

Untitled document
The Student Vocational Nurse will:
1. Determine behaviors that reflect professional values.
2. Analyze client's sociocultural needs related to health care.
3. Design strategies for therapeutic communication in clinical encounters.
4. Develop a knowledge base needed for compliance with facility policies
and laws. including a simulated documentation of nursing care.
5. Apply principles of infection control in hypothetical scenarios.
6. Apply principles of basic pharmacology and medication safety to hypo-
thetical clinical scenarios.
7. Calculate medication dosages accurately in practice and exams.
8. Discuss client scenarios within the framework of Orem's Theory.
9. Create nursing care plans using nursing process for simulated cases.
10. Identify deviations from normal for common clinical parameters.
11. Describe normal function, assessment of function health maintenance, &
standard nursing/medical care & pharmacologic therapies as they relate
to common alterations in physical/psychological function.
12. Compare & contrast care of clients in acute versus rehab settings.
13. Describe common diseases occurring in the elderly.
