NURS 474 - Knowledge Synthesis III

1 Credit(s)

Nursing practice is continually confronted with complex patient situations. Competency in nursing practice requires reasonable and reflective thinking that is focused on decision making. Using an inquiry-based approach, students working in small groups actively participate in problem solving within a case study design. These case studies address important issues in current nursing practice and focus on concepts contained in concurrent clinical nursing courses. Progressive cases are presented that build as complications occur and/or patient situations change.
