(3 credits)

This course focuses on the utilization of theory-based practice to manage the continuum of care required by families. Based on Orem's Self-Care Model and the nursing process, the student will complete 45 hours of clinical application that provide the framework for development of the professional roles of caregiver, teacher, and manager of care in the health care, family, and nursing systems. Clinical application provides experiences across the life span. These experiences occur in a variety of settings and address the health care needs of families. The clinical integration and application of theories and concepts introduced in the family theory course will be the focus of this course.

This undergraduate-level course is 5 weeks. To enroll, speak with an Enrollment Advisor.
