| Fundamentals and Basics of Vocational Nursing |
| Description: | This is the first in a series of theory courses which prepares students to practice vocational nursing. Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory is used as a framework to study the bio-psycho-social-cultural-spiritual health/nursing concepts related to: nursing fundamentals, adult medical-surgical and gerontological nursing. Topics of patient teaching incorporate: basic pharmacology, medication administration, nutrition, standard nursing and medical care, for a variety of common disease states. This course compares and contrasts nursing care systems employed in health maintenance, communicable disease, acute illness, chronic illness, and rehabilitation. This course integrates the concepts of: critical thinking, nursing process, culturally congruent care, verbal and written communication, mental health, ethics and unethical conduct, and end of life care. Standards of nursing care are also a focus to meet the needs of the growing gerontological clientele. |
