This course focuses on the nursing care of adult patients expe- riencing common and complex acute health conditions. Build- ing on knowledge and skills from previous coursework, students further develop their ability to manage medical-surgi- cal conditions in the adult population. Emphasis is placed on applying critical thinking and clinical judgment, guided by professional standards, evidence-based guidelines, competen- cies, and best practices. Through hands-on clinical experiences, learners have the opportunity to apply psychomotor skills, psychosocial principles, effective communication, legal and ethical responsibilities, and the nursing process to deliver safe, high-quality, patient-centered care.
