NURS 3411

In this course, a population health approach is used to address the nursing care of individuals with acute and persistent mental health issues and substance use disorders. In addition, clients in these settings may experience acute or chronic medical comorbidities. Students build on previous learning, integrating the core curriculum concepts and content from the semester's theory and health assessment courses. This course provides the theory required to provide safe, competent, ethical, compassionate, and evidence-informed care for clients in mental health and community settings. Students complete one half of the semester in mental health and the other half in community health.
