Catalog Description:

The second in a series of theory courses to prepare students to practice vocational nursing. Orems Self Care Deficit Theory is used as a framework for the study of medical surgical conditions and pharmacology with a focus on care of the pre/postoperative client. This course continues to compare and contrast nursing care systems in a variety of body systems. Acute and chronic care is compared between pediatric and adult clients with the major emphasis on care of the pre/postoperative client.

Students will:

1. Continue to apply concepts learned in prerequisite theory course to

begin to analyze patients with more complex disease states.

2. Begin to apply Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory to increasingly more

  complex hypothetical scenarios over the course of the semester.

3. Apply basic growth and development concepts to nursing systems.

4. Collaborate with other nursing students in solving problems related to

hypothetical clinical scenarios.

5. Begin to analyze the effects of pathological processes on multiple body

systems.
