6cp; 5 weeks, 6hpw theoretical hours, 32 clinical hoursUndergraduate
This subject contributes to overall course aims by continuing the development of students' knowledge and skills in adult nursing care. The subject provides the opportunity for students to continue to develop generic nursing skills using clinical exemplars from the respiratory system which reflect current epidemiological trends in health care. The theoretical basis incorporates skills development in patient assessment, data collection, and relevant psychomotor skills necessary for the provision of nursing care based on current best nursing practice. The development of the relationship between the nurse and the patient includes transitions through health and illness, respect for cultural identity, ethical considerations and resource availability. The concept of clinical judgment within acute care settings is developed in both the theory component and in clinical settings.
