ADN 106 - Meeting Human Needs II
The focus of this course is the care of persons who have actual/potential health problems related to immunity, fluid and electrolytes, the integumentary system, surgery and health management. Classroom, theory, and clinical practice integrate all eleven of Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns, 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. Students will demonstrate mathematical skills and quantitative reasoning as evidenced by safe medication calculation and administration. The student provides care using knowledge, comprehension, application, and analysis, under supervision in a variety of settings and further develops the eight roles of the associate degree nurse. The eight roles include: professional behavior, communication, assessment, caring intervention, clinical decision making, teaching-learning, collaboration, and managing care.

Course Profile
Learning Outcomes of the Course:
Upon completion of ADN 106, the student will practice as a caregiver who demonstrates intermediate competency in the eight roles of the nurse which include: communication, professional behaviors, assessment, clinical decision-making, caring interventions, teaching/learning, collaboration, and manager of care. When caring for persons experiencing disruptions in Health Perception/Health Management and Nutrition/Metabolic Function, the student will:
- Analyze personal professional behavior within boundaries of nurse-patient relationship and organizational policies.
- Use current technology available for documentation, data retrieval, and medication administration.
- Analyze assessments according to Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns.
- Implement a plan of care incorporating individual cultural and/or spiritual differences.
- Apply nursing process to clients experiencing pathologic changes across the life cycle using Maslow.
- Construct a teaching/learning poster presentation choosing a topic related to course content.
- Use resources available for planning patient care.
- Apply the principles of safety, medical, and surgical asepsis during clinical practice.
- Employ algebraic principles to solve medication dose and intravenous fluid calculation problems.
- Represent mathematical calculations symbolically and numerically by solving for correct unit of measure.
- Interpret and draw inferences from formulas and tables for safe medication administration.
