NU - 750 Family Heath I

Credits: 6

Using Healthy People 2020 as the framework for study, behavioral, developmental, cultural, and lifestyle issues encountered in primary care are examined. At the completion of this foundational course, students are able to identify populations at-risk and determine appropriate interventions for individuals, groups, families, and special populations. Models of health promotion and risk-reduction are integrated into care planning, counseling, and teaching strategies, developing basic advanced practice competencies relevant to primary care across the lifespan for both acute and chronic health conditions. Precepted clinical experiences and case presentations provide opportunities for students to apply new knowledge to the assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and evaluation of clients with health promotion needs and common acute and chronic health concerns. The maximization of health resources, referrals, and consultations are discussed within the context of the interdisciplinary care team. Course Fee- BSN-DNP NP tracks only.
