5566N Neonatal Nursing II (3)
This is the second of two courses that integrates the physiologic,
pharmacologic, and assessment skills and principles in determining appropriate
care of the ill neonate. Current research and evidenced-based practices are
used as the course framework. The effects of critical conditions on the growth
and development of the neonate, including subsequent chronic health problems as
well as the short and long term consequences to the child's family are
emphasized. The use of specific interventions and diagnostic procedures are
demonstrated and applied in laboratory/clinical settings during forty hours of
required clinical activities. Prerequisite: Nursing 564.
