This course focuses on the physiological, developmental, psychosocial, cultural, and spiritual
health care of the child within the family unit. Students use the nursing process, family theories,
legal-ethical principles, and community resources to promote, maintain, and restore optimum functioning of
the family unit. Emphasis is placed on age-related health risks and common childhood health problems.
Clinical experiences provide the student with opportunities to develop assessment skills, communication
skills, cultural awareness, nursing process, critical thinking skills, teaching skills, psychomotor skills,
and collaborative skills in acute and community-based settings.
