NURS 233 - Acute, Surgical, & Complex Nursing Care

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 60

Restricted to students in Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing
Learners focus on providing safe, competent, culturally appropriate patient care, across the lifespan. Learners begin to synthesize nursing and interdisciplinary knowledge into nursing care in the context of selected acute and complex illnesses, and the perioperative period. Learners integrate foundational knowledge from pathophysiology, pharmacology, and nursing into their clinical reasoning skills in order to plan care that is patient-centred, evidence-informed, and culturally appropriate for persons along the continuum of health and across the lifespan. Learners examine nursing practice and health care environments using concepts of vulnerability, ethics and informed consent, health promotion, and Indigenous ways of knowing and being.
