Nursing Theory IV

This course builds upon the concepts presented in PN 329 and introduces the learner to the nursing care of diverse patients experiencing complex chronic illnesses (including mental health challenges) across the lifespan. Learners will continue to apply the nursing process, and develop supportive, preventative, therapeutic, palliative, and rehabilitative nursing care; continue to propose evidence informed nursing interventions (dependent, independent, and collaborative), and discuss expected outcomes while considering the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) "Three Factor Framework" (2018). Furthermore, this course will underscore the concept that some chronic health challenges may predispose the individual secondary acute illness, apply relevant medical terminology, and highlight common promoting behaviours. This course will support the knowledge, skills, judgment, and nursing attitudes required during all simulation (scenarios) experiences that occur throughout the Practical Nursing program.
