92195 Adult Nursing: GIT and Orthopaedic

This subject contributes to the overall course aims by integrating knowledge drawn from other course subjects and by continuing the development of students' knowledge and skills in the provision of adult nursing care. This subject provides the opportunity for students to develop generic nursing skills using clinical exemplars from the gastro-intestinal and/or musculo-skeletal systems which reflect current epidemiological trends in health care. The theoretical basis incorporates psychomotor skills development, patient assessment and the provision of nursing care based on current best nursing practice. The development of the relationship between the nurse and the patient will include transitions through health and illness, respect for cultural identity, ethical considerations and resource availability. The concept of clinical judgment in acute care settings continues to be developed in both the theory component and in clinical settings.
