NURS 5350 Health & Illness: Diverse Populations I
The nurse's role in assuring coordination, integration, and continuity of care is investigated. Integration of the physical, behavioral, psychological, spiritual, socioeconomic, and environmental factors that influence patient-centered care is explored with a focus on understanding risk reduction, protective and predictive factors, and the systems influencing the mental and physical health of individuals, families, and communities. The nursing process is applied using advanced pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment to assess health and illness beliefs, assets, and barriers to health and to explore historical, social, political and economic forces impacting the health of communities. Theoretical models and frameworks are explored to promote health, behavior change and chronic disease management.
