GNUR 300 Introduction to Gerontological Nursing

This course will detail the unique roles and functions of geriatric nursing by exploring historical underpinnings, societal needs, and current issues. Two conceptual models for nursing acutely ill, chronically ill or frail elders will provide a groundwork for use of assessment tools and critical analysis. A focus on health promotion and wellness in later life will guide and direct nursing leadership in the care of older adults. Web, electronic and journal resources that support nursing practice will be identified.
