Students are introduced to the theory and practice of nursing based on the
adaptation model. A focus of this course is assessment of
patients' physical and psychological adaptation to health and illness across
the adult life span, including variations for the geriatric client. The
health illness continuum is explored within the context of the health care
delivery system. Common health problems, which adult and
geriatric clients have developed adaptive responses, are introduced. Students
begin the socialization process into the role of the registered nurse. A
special emphasis is placed on the nurse as communicator
and critical thinker in a culturally diverse setting. The definition of
cultural diversity includes ethnic, cultural and psychological effects in
response to wellness, illness, health practices, and value systems among
cultural groups. This course focuses on assessing,
developing, implementing and evaluating a plan of care that respects the
individual's cultural beliefs related to variations in concept of health and
illness, use of health care delivery systems, communication differences and
barriers such as cultural groups, variances in time and personal space.
Detailed objectives are written for each class and correlate with required
preparation. Simulated practice of fundamental nursing skills in a multimedia
setting and utilization of low fidelity mannequinsis included. Clinical
application of both theory and skills occurs in the hospital.
