Description: This course is designed to further develop concepts of health and illness, and professional nursing considered from the context of a population (with population ranging from a local community to a global perspective). Health care recipient concept includes culture. Professional nursing and health care concepts include professional identity, collaboration, and safety. Upon completion, students will apply these concepts to determine relevant cues from a variety of sources as a foundation for prioritizing, planning, implementing, and evaluating safe nursing practice in the acute care setting. The population/community context serves as a guiding principle related to how the concepts are selected, presented and applied. Upon completion, students should be able to identify aspects of a population that impact health/healthcare delivery and develop service-learning projects that incorporate the concepts identified in this course.
