NURS 2230X ADULT NURSING: TRANSITIONS IN HEALTH
In this course, the student focuses on the experience of illness and the impact of illness, both acute and chronic, on the hospitalized client. The primary focus is the individual client; however, the individual is considered within the context of the family. Each student has clinical rotations working with adults in a hospital setting who are experiencing an acute episode of illness or an exacerbation of a chronic illness. Students learn to apply the principles of primary health care to nursing practice in the acute care setting.

Lecture: 3 hours/week
