NURS 6612 Advanced Assessment and Diagnosis in Management of the Older Adult
This course builds on adult primary care concepts so that advanced practice nurses (APRNs) can provide safe, quality primary care for older adults. The focus of this course is the impact of aging on physical and developmental status and adapting prevention strategies and interventions to meet the complex needs of individuals and their families. Current evidence will provide the basis for discussions about select acute & chronic conditions, self-care, independent living, palliative and end-of-life care. Management of older adults in deployed, humanitarian and austere conditions are discussed.
