Collaborative Management in Adult-Gerontology Acute Care I

3 credits · School of Nursing

NURS 6114 is the first of a three-course series that explores, at an advanced level, pathophysiology, assessment, diagnoses, and collaborative management of selected acute and chronic health conditions of the adult and gerontology patient population. This course requires the synthesis of health assessment, advanced physiology/pathophysiology, and advanced pharmacology with the application of these concepts to the content taught in this course series. Collaborative management strategies, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, are emphasized across the span of acute and critical care, along with implications for systems-level leadership and population health. The course objectives are met through didactic content and case study analyses. Pre/corequisite: 6013, 6022 and 6024. [3]
