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.
