The course is presented in sections according to body systems and is taught through lecture, demonstration, and supervised clinical experiences. The nursing process, critical thinking and geriatric considerations are integrated throughout the course assisting the student to develop a detailed plan of care for the patient with a common, well-defined medical-surgical health problem. Emphasis is placed on providing care to individuals undergoing surgery, patients with cancer, and common alterations in the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, reproductive system of both the male and female, and the urinary system.
