RNSG 2302 Professional Practice VI: The Childrearing Family

Professional Practice V is developed utilizing Orems Self-Care theory as the conceptual basis for the nursing care of the childrearing family. Emphasis is placed on the theory and clinical experience required to meet the educative-developmental, partial compensatory and total compensatory self-care needs of the child and family. Consideration is given to various stages of growth and development across the life cycle where clients and families are adapting to stressors. Students are provided with a variety of learning experiences for initiating and implementing change in nursing approaches to client care. Students will integrate this knowledge in the provision of client centered care, human diversity, as well as safe and effective care environments for clients and their families in the pediatric practice setting. All clinical laboratories are under supervision of professional nurse faculty; clinical laboratory preceded and followed by group seminar. Theoretical concepts and clinical nursing skills contained in this course are consistent with the skills standards developed for the State of Georgia. Writing assignments, as appropriate to the discipline, are part of the course.
