RNSG 1441 - Common Concepts of Adult Health


RNSG 1441 presents the theory of clinical nursing as applied to the adult client seeking to maintain or regain balance as the individual moves along a continuum towards positive outcomes (SPC ADNP Philosophy). The course is designed to prepare the student to assess, recognize and analyze cues, take action, and evaluate the nursing care of adult clients/families and/or groups emphasizing knowledge, judgment, skills, and professional values within a legal/ethical framework. Through laboratory and selected clinical experiences (offered in the concurrent course of RNSG 2460), the student will learn to function effectively as a member of the health care team by applying the nursing process and principles of teaching/learning appropriate to nursing care of individual clients/families and/or groups. Continuing emphasis is placed on the role of the nurse as a Provider of patient-centered care, Member of the Health Care Team, Patient Safety Advocate, and Member of the Profession. The student will access appropriate referral sources to utilize resources within the community to meet the various needs of individual clients/families and/or groups. Students will evaluate their own strengths and needs related to personal and professional growth and development. This will enhance their ability to make required behavioral modifications and apply appropriate ethical and legal principles of practice to serve as health care advocates for clients/families and/or groups. This course lends itself to a block or integrated approach. This course must be taken concurrently with RNSG 2460, RNSG 2213, RNSG 1144, and RNSG 2121 and each passed with a “C” or better per nursing department criteria.
