NUR 657 - Primary Care II for the Advanced Practice Nurse/PracticumCredits 3
Requirements: Pre-reqs: NUR 557, 558
In this practicum, students expand their knowledge of management of acute illness and acute exacerbation of chronic illness in the adult client through a clinical placement with a nurse practitioner or physician preceptor. Through participatory clinical experiences, students assess and manage commonly occurring acute problems and acute exacerbation of chronic illnesses to promote health, assess and reduce risk, and guide adults who are experiencing acute illness. The continuing development of advanced practice skills in patient assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning is emphasized. Student progression to an increasingly independent role as an Advanced Practice Nurse is required. Professional, legal and political dimensions of the role are addressed. Course development was guided by the NONPF Competencies (2006), NONPF-Primary Care Competencies in Specialty Areas: Adult (2002) and the advanced practice standards of the ANA (2004) Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice.
