NURS 702 (L03) - Child Health Nursing

The course considers the child in the context of family as the focus for nursing practice, introducing the student to the care of children using a developmental approach. Commonly occurring health transitions and alterations occurring from infancy through adolescence are examined. A survey of child health explores both professional practice roles of the pediatric nurse in health promotion and illness as well as acute and chronic conditions that impact children at various stages of development.
