Prerequisite: NUR 1210 or NUR 1106 and BIO 2923, 2921. This course focuses on the care of clients with complex and/or long-term health alterations that require medical and/or surgical interventions. This course also provides an integrative, family-centered approach to the care of mothers, newborns, and children. Emphasis is placed on normal and high-risk pregnancies, normal growth and development, family dynamics, common pediatric disorders, and the promotion of health behaviors in clients. Students continue to use the nursing process in interdisciplinary practice to prevent, promote, maintain, and restore health throughout the lifespan. Clinical experiences provide the student the opportunities to apply theoretical concepts and implement safe client care to mothers, newborns, and children in selected settings, as well as opportunities for collaboration with other members of the interdisciplinary health care team while focusing on providing safe quality, client- centered care to client(s) experiencing complex and/or long-term alterations.
