NUR 0450 - FAMILY AND MENTAL HEALTH


Minimum Credits: 9
Maximum Credits: 9
This course builds on the knowledge and skills from the NUR 0400  course. This course provides students with opportunities to integrate theories, concepts and skills in delivering care to clients in recognized phases of change or development - the perinatal period, children and families from infancy through adolescence, and clients experiencing mental health alterations. Utilizing the nursing process as a framework, students develop culturally appropriate nursing strategies to influence health. Concepts that are emphasized in this course include: collaborative practice among the health care team; a focus on the family as a resource in the treatment of illness and the promotion of wellness; and therapeutic nurse-client interactions. Students will rotate through obstetrics, pediatric and mental health care facilities during this course.
