Primary Care Adult-Gerentology II

This is a Level 2 course in the DNP program and the second of two advanced nursing science theoretical courses for the preparation of the adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner. The focus is on the refinement and synthesis of independent critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills used by the advanced practice nurse, as well as competence in common primary care office procedures. Primary care services across the continuum of care from wellness to illness, including preventive, chronic and acute care for special adult populations are examined. Coordination of additional necessary health services beyond the AGPCNP’s area of expertise are explored. Pre-requisite : NSG 817, NSG 816 Co-requisite: NSG 826
