Assignments, Quizzes

This topic requires students to deepen their evidence-based understanding and application of integrated nursing care for clients across the lifespan.

The aims of this topic are to:

integrate knowledge and skills related to anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology, in order to provide high-quality integrated nursing care for clients across the lifespan.

On successful completion of this topic students will be able to:

articulate a rationale for the planning, implementation and evaluation of care across the lifespan for patients with a variety of illnesses based on the best available critically analysed evidence
apply knowledge of anatomy and physiology to pathophysiology in order to provide comprehensive nursing care
apply the principles of pharmacology to nursing practice including the use of ICT to access and evaluate clinical information
recognise and describe the indications and contraindications for appropriate medication management, linked to the critical analysis of best available evidence
identify adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and analyse the basis of ADRs
analyse the rationale of medication choice in the treatment of pathological conditions and articulate why multiple drugs may be used to treat one condition
describe the principles of integrated care and associated models using the WHO definition and research in relation to the development of integrated care
recognise and describe the factors that influence the implementation of integrated care
identify possible strategies to enable integrated care
recognise and document a patient's understanding and use of health therapies in relation to a plan of care
