| Description: |
This course builds upon the concepts introduced in BSN 215, encompassing safe drug
administration to clients across the health continuum. This course focuses on the
role of the registered professional nurse as a provider of culturally competent client-centered
care, education and leadership skills, and advocacy for clients with complex needs
and selected diagnoses in pharmacological treatment. Using the nursing process as
a guide, the learner integrates previous learning with current, expanded learning
to analyze the therapeutic use of drugs and assist the patient in using them safely. |
