Description

This course focuses on the synthesis of humanistic/scientific principles and research in the care of the older adult with
complex needs. Students use critical thinking skills to examine professional nursing care in the areas of health
promotion, risk reduction, disease prevention, illness/disease management, and rehabilitation in the changing
environments of the older adult. Holistic concepts including spirituality, sexuality, end-of-life, and economics are
expanded. The roles of the professional nurse in meeting the mutually identified needs of the older adult in the
community are evaluated.
