This is the fifth of five specialty courses for the Adult-Gerontological Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AG-ACNP) student. This course combines theoretical knowledge with evidence-based practice for acutely and critically ill adults across the lifespan. Content focuses on integrating clinical skills including comprehensive assessment, diagnostic reasoning, and implementation of a management and evaluation plan considering age, gender, sexuality, and social determinants of health within the scope of AG-ACNP practice. Additionally, care coordination including palliative care and end-of-life care principles will be incorporated as appropriate.
