The focus of this course is on the nursing care of persons who have actual/potential health problems related to the health patterns of: Cognitive/Perceptual and Coping/Stress. Classroom theory and clinical practice integrate all eleven of Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns. Integrated in this course are our beliefs about human caring, the nature of human beings, health and nursing. The concepts of hierarchy of human needs and life-cycle are applied to the nursing care of persons with common health problems. The nursing process is utilized as the modality through which critical thinking skills are applied in the delivery of care. Emphasis is placed on health assessment, health promotion, health restoration, and health maintenance. The student provides nursing care to persons and both specialty and general medical/surgical units, as well as in community settings. With increased autonomy, students assume the eight roles of the Associate Degree nurse.
