This course focuses on pathophysiologic concepts and nursing management essential to critical care and emergency nursing. Patients with acute and chronic cardiopulmonary, hepatic, renal, and multi-system dysfunction will be selected for critical care clinical experiences. Leadership and management skills are introduced and applied in the clinical setting. Students apply the nursing process and prioritize nursing care for a group of patients with multiple needs imbalances. The role of the nurse in the management of patient care following a disaster is presented and students participate in an actual disaster drill in a local hospital.
