Description

This course focuses on the information, knowledge and attitudes necessary to provide safe, high-quality care for children and the child-bearing family. Acute and chronic health issues, child and family development, primary, secondary and tertiary prevention will be addressed. Issues of diversity and inclusivity will be explored within the context of the delivery of nursing care. Concepts of patient advocacy will be discussed with application of these concepts to direct patient care. This course includes both didactic/theoretical learning, skills experience in the NCAC (including participation in simulation) and exposure to children and families in a variety of clinical settings.
