NURS 7005 - Rural Primary Care Nursing III

The purpose of this course is to present the theoretical and clinical bases of common health problems found in adults through the life span. Adult health promotion and disease prevention strategies, including advocacy and health education, to lower health risks and improve health disparities in rural and medically underserved populations are included as integral parts of the course. Additionally, emphasis is placed on the use of evidence-based practice and ethics to guide clinical reasoning. Clinical experiences will provide opportunity for application and integration of theory in practice settings and development of collaborative relationships with other health care providers. These experiences will occur in a variety of settings with emphasis on rural and urban underserved adults. This course serves as the second of two adult health courses.
