NU 1140 - Cooperative Experience I - Concepts of Health & Illness Across the Lifespan & Care Continuum

In the first of three Cooperative Learning Experiences, students learn to integrate and apply core knowledge from the liberal arts and sciences with the foundational nursing knowledge, hands-on skills, and professional behaviors as the basis for providing safe, quality, and patient-centered care for the young adult, adult, and older adult populations across the care continuum. Students will be introduced to the concept exemplars, including oxygenation, acid-base imbalance, perfusion, fluid & electrolyte imbalance, nutrition, digestion, elimination, sensory perception, tissue integrity - and the related pathophysiology and pharmacology.
