The course objective is to teach students to plan and implement nursing care to individuals who have needs related to fluid and electrolyte imbalances, oxygenation, and circulation, as well as self-care deficits related to mobility, neurosensory problems, and endocrine and immune function. Faculty-supervised learning in an affiliated hospital and/or clinical site will provide students the opportunity to develop cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills in the nursing care of the medical surgical client. Outside preparation activities include web-based ATI (Assessment Technologies Institute) nurse logic, PN learning systems and practice assessments, and completion of workbook exercises and learning guides.
