Course Description:
Foundations in Nursing II,
(N231), builds on the basic concepts, principles, and skills of nursing practice
initiated in Foundations in Nursing I, N211. Emphasis is on using the nursing process and the Neuman
Systems Model to provide care for individuals with well-defined health care
needs. The student will utilize
primary and secondary preventions as interventions to assist the client in
dealing with interpersonal stressors that affect the client’s lines of defense
and resistance and resistance through physiological needs of oxygenation, fluids
and electrolytes, acid-base balance, nutrition, urinary elimination, bowel
elimination, comfort and sleep. Basic
theory of medication administration will be introduced as an intervention to
strengthen lines of defense and resistance.
Further use of the nursing process will emphasize interventions for
individuals requiring preoperative care to retain, attain, or maintain
stability.
