Application of the nursing process continues with emphasis on the planning and implementation of nursing care for clients experiencing threats to functional health patterns, including women and infants within a significant support system. Basic concepts and principles of holistic nursing are built upon with interpersonal relationships focusing on the new parent, grandparents and older adult clients. Practice issues focus on legal-ethical cases related to maternal-child and family care. Development of professional behaviors, such as developing therapeutic relationships continues with students working clients through life interactions. Students further develop critical thinking skills through case studies and simulation scenarios designed to provide students with problem solving skills in analyzing, planning and prioritizing care for clients whose health problems are more acute or chronic; the client with psycho-emotional dysfunctions, dysfunctional support systems situations, grief, and loss. Students learn basic management skills as a team member caring for a limited number of clients in hospitals with emphasis on coordination of nursing care and discharge planning.
