Focus on the nursing care of clients experiencing chronic illness and/or end of life enables the nurse to care for a large part of the healthcare population. Emphasis is placed on understanding the “lived experience” of clients and families. Ethical issues related to advocacy, self-determination, and autonomy are explored. Evidence-based practice is used to support appropriately focused assessments and management of care of clients experiencing concurrent illnesses/co-morbidities concentrating on skills-based and direct-focused integrative active guided experimentation by the student.
