ACNU 305A Clinical Nursing Care I Part A
Clinical Nursing Care I Part A.
This course utilizes the nursing process as
students apply their knowledge to adult patients
in a variety of acute clinical settings. This
course is the clinical experience that accompanies
the
NU 304: Illness Across the Lifespan I course.
It is the study and care of patients with adaptive
and maladaptive responses to internal and external
stimuli/stressors that interfere with optimal
wellness. The concepts of critical thinking,
problem solving, decision-making, and priority
setting are emphasized utilizing the nursing
process as the foundational framework.
Collaboration, communication, delegation, and
patient teaching are incorporated into the total
care of the client/family. Students will also
observe and participate in a variety of
out-rotation clinical sites to explore the role of
the registered nurse in acute settings. Students
will also participate in simulation in our
advanced simulation nursing laboratory under the
supervision of our Clinical Lab Facilitators.
These
simulations will help students explore the QSEN
competencies. There is an additional fee for this
course.
