Primary Care Nursing 1

This is the first in a series of three sequential courses focusing on primary care of older adolescents through older adults, including the frail elderly. This series will use a systems-based approach, building upon previous knowledge and adding increasing complexity over the course of three semesters. Using a science-based framework, this first course emphasizes the use of standard guidelines and screenings for health promotion, disease prevention, diagnostic reasoning, and diagnosis and management, of the most common diagnoses in primary care. A supervised practicum, with a focus on primary care, provides opportunities for application of clinical concepts in actual practice.
