NURS 2701U – Health and Healing: Adult Health Challenges Nursing Theory and Practicum

The focus of this course is nursing science theory as it relates to care of adults experiencing health challenges such as acute or chronic illness. It facilitates students’ nursing practice in situations of health challenges. Critical thinking and clinical decision-making based on evidence is facilitated in classroom and practice settings and is guided by a nursing theoretical perspective. Previously learned nursing therapeutics (skills and assessments) will be enacted in increasingly complex care situations. The lived experiences of the client experiencing acute or chronic health challenges will be explored. Students will complete 96 hours within a clinical practicum experience, including orientation. Students will
demonstrate nursing theory‐guided and evidence‐informed praxis relevant to this course, while working directly with clients.
