Using a nursing science framework, this course emphasizes intervention strategies and health care protocols for complex multisystem health problems and human responses of adults and older adults in a variety of health care settings. Supervised practicum continues to provide opportunities to integrate previous learning experiences. Strategies for evaluating the outcomes of care interventions from a leadership perspective are emphasized through the final capstone project. Students will demonstrate an in depth ability to utilize case studies integrating pathophysiology, advanced assessment, pharmacotherapeutics, and evidence-based standards of care to plan for and achieve positive patient outcomes for selected patients with an emphasis on the older adult. Strategies to interpret the adult-geriatric CNS role in health care to other health care providers and the public are discussed.
