This course is comprised of two components: lab theory/practice, and clinical.
The lab theory and practice component of the course further explores the concept of health
promotion and health protection with at risk individuals. The learner will gain the knowledge and
the skills related to performing basic assessment and nursing skills required to care for the
individual in selected age groups including math calculations. The clinical component of the
course will provide the learner with opportunities to examine the role of the practical nurse and
utilize critical thinking skills to plan and implement nursing care in long term care and simulated
clinical settings. The expectation is to safely apply theoretical knowledge and skills from all past
and present core nursing courses. The learner is expected to safely and competently care for
two clients by the end of this clinical experience.
