NURS 686 - Primary Care of Adults and Elders III

Credits: 5

NURS 686 focuses on the primary care health care needs of adults and elders. This course offers intensive clinical experience in the AG nurse practitioner primary care role. The clinical component focuses on the role of nurse practitioners in primary care settings including health promotion, illness prevention, physical assessment, management plans for acute and chronic illnesses, and patient education. Role development is continued to be emphasized using content from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Competencies. Critical thinking and integration of previous MSN coursework, including NURS 684 and NURS 685, is demonstrated through diagnosis and management of common chronic and acute illnesses seen in adults and elders.
