| Credit points: | 03 |
| Year: | 2016 |
| Student Contribution Band: | Band 1 |
| Administered by: | College of Healthcare Sciences |
Available only to level 2 nursing students.
In this subject students learn about patient responses to pathophysiological processes and how these may affect patients throughout their lifespan. Related nursing skills and professional development are addressed. Basic assessment skills introduced in Clinical Nursing Practice 1 and 2 are further developed. Problem-solving skills are emphasised so that students can appropriately, systematically and expeditiously assess a client's health status and assist the client to meet his/her functional health care needs. This is achieved through lectures, professional experience workshops and flexible modules and application of this knowledge in the clinical setting.
