This course focuses on common pathophysiological effects on an individual’s homeostasis and the resultant unmet physical and psychosocial needs. Students study complex interventions to assist patients to promote, maintain, and restore homeostasis, including interventions to regain optimal health that relate to problems of adjustment and deviant patterns of behavior. The clinical focus is on the application of increasingly complex skills and interventions for the care of the adult patient, with an emphasis on common health problems that are more likely to result in an acute illness. In the mental health setting, the clinical focus is on using therapeutic communication skills and the therapeutic use of self in the nurse-patient relationship within the psychiatric-mental health areas. Clinical hours are a combination of on-campus activities and off-site clinical experiences.
