Nursing IV builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in Nursing III. Students learn to apply the nursing process to providing all levels of prevention to diverse clients across the life span and their support systems experiencing more complex responses affecting their abilities to meet needs for oxygen, perception/mobility, and/or fluid and electrolytes. Students focus on commonly occurring responses to stressors and more complex interaction of problems in these need areas. In the role transition from student to graduate nurse, students use the nursing process to manage care for selected groups of clients. Students provide care in pediatric and adult acute and sub acute care facilities, and the community. The course culminates in a role transition experience with a clinical preceptor.
