NURS 2122 Nursing Assessment of Health Across the Life Span
Learners examine physical, cognitive, and psychosocial growth and development across the lifespan, with emphasis on theories from nursing and the social sciences. Learners explore how environment, culture, ethnicity, family, biological factors, sex and gender influence development and well-being. Using a functional health patterns framework, learners interpret age-appropriate developmental characteristics and patterns. Learners apply health promotion principles to support individuals and families and develop developmentally appropriate communication strategies and culturally sensitive approaches to promote health and healing, including in palliative and end-of-life situations.
