NURS 450 - Pediatric and Child Health Nursing

Research-based theories, concepts, and the nursing process are emphasized using critical-thinking skills to provide holistic care relative to children and their families. In tertiary and community-based settings, students use standards of ethical professional nursing practice to assist pediatric clients with acute and chronic health concerns and their families to restore, maintain, and promote health, attain optimum well-being, or to die with dignity. Nursing process is emphasized in class and clinical learning experiences related to health needs, developmental tasks, and responses to health concerns for children through late adolescence. Responsibility and accountability for nursing care, collaboration, resource conservation and use, respect for human worth and dignity, national and global concerns, and a commitment to a servant-leadership lifestyle are foundational to effective clinical judgments and client outcomes.
