Description
This course builds on population health nursing concepts focusing on care management for the moderate risk
individual with multiple chronic health conditions. Students will demonstrate professional role development, clinical
judgment, and the use of humanistic/scientific principles and research as the basis of compassionate and culturally
respectful nursing care. Students learn to manage disease care, conduct interdisciplinary practice, and provide patient
education and advocacy through secondary and tertiary care interventions for individuals, families, and aggregates.
The clinical practicum offers opportunities to practice health promotion and restorative nursing care. Experiences

advocacy, and leadership. Students will analyze research and evidence-based practice.
