Description
Nursing Care of the Adult Client applies a systematic approach for the comprehensive coverage by the licensed practical nurse (LPN) of the care of adults with disorders requiring medical and surgical management. Each unit covers a body system and begins with assessment, age-related changes, diagnostic tests and procedures and common therapeutic measures that are related to the body system discussed. Specific disorders and nursing care are then discussed. Students continue to develop skills using NANDA terminology and the nursing process. There are associated clinical components required with this course.
