The nursing process provides the framework for intensive nursing care management. Emphasis is given to the psychosocial and ethical/legal aspects of care. The collaborative role of the nurse in working with the family and other health team members in providing critical care is addressed. Critical care experiences are provided in laboratory and clinical settings. Prerequisites: NU 550 and NU 551. |
