NURS 3245 Clinical Laboratory of Childbearing Theory

Application of childbearing theory to the diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes for the care of families in structured clinical settings. Focus is on prenatal, perinatal, and post-natal activities. Students work collaboratively with the multidisciplinary team in applying evidenced-based practice derived from current multidisciplinary research to the childbearing family. Supervised by nursing faculty, the students are mentored to extend their skills in critical thinking and clinical judgment to meet the physical, psychosocial, cultural, and spiritual needs of their clients and families. Emphasis will be placed on QSEN, AACN Essentials for baccalaureate education, AWHONN and ACOG standards of care.
