NRHK301 Promoting Health in Extended Care

10 cp 
Prerequisites
Foundation year or equivalent
Teaching Organisation 150 hours of focused learning.

This nursing theory unit will develop students’ understanding of the importance of promoting health, well-being and quality of life for older people and those people of all ages and their families who are living with life-limiting illnesses. The commonalities and differences between these two areas of extended care will be examined within a continuum of care services, focusing on the role of the nurse in the interdisciplinary team. Through inquiry-based learning, this unit will enable students to provide evidence-based, person-centred care for older people and those who are living with life-limiting illnesses such as cancer, and who may require curative, healing, rehabilitative-supportive, and/or palliative care services.
