Advanced Health Assessment and Therapeutic Management II
This course offers a combination of on-campus synchronous/asynchronous lectures and guest presentations using a flipped classroom format. Lectures will be offered in 8h segments every 2 weeks preceded and followed by online asynchronous discussion and virtual interactive case (VIC) completion. Lecture attendance, ongoing participation in the discussion board and VIC case completion are essential to assist in the development and refinement of skills to critically appraise and synthesize relevant clinical data, research, theory and clinical practice guidelines related to geriatrics, pain, end-of-life care and medical assistance in dying, mental health, diabetes, and skin disorders/dermatologic issues. In addition, faculty and guest lecturers will provide students the opportunity to learn from individuals actively engaged in practice and research.
This course also includes 250h of clinical practicum. The course practicum should be in a practice setting that offers broad, comprehensive experience with common client/family health and illness states. During the 250 hours of clinical practice, client/family health and illness states are used to build the students’ development of advanced skills related to client and family assessment, and to integrate collaboration, consultation and referral strategies into treatment plans/therapeutic management approaches. Health promotion, health protection, and the prevention of injury, illness, disease and complications are integral to students’ experiences.
During clinical practicum components, students will become familiar with changes in scope of practice from that of a registered nurse, and the ways that these changes affect their responsibilities and accountabilities as a nurse practitioner. Students will practice in accordance with federal and local legislation, professional and ethical standards, and policy relevant to the role of the nurse practitioner; including those that relate to controlled drugs and substances and assisted dying. (250 hours of practicum) (Prerequisite: This course is to be taken after completion of one of NUR1115/1116/1117H. Submission of a health evaluation and immunization form is required prior to registration.)
