NRSG364 Aged Care Nursing Practice

10 cp
Prerequisites NRSG259 Promoting Health in Extended Care
Teaching Organisation 150 hours of focused learning.

This specialty practice unit will provide students with the opportunity to further develop knowledge and skills required for the delivery of person-centred care for older people within a multidisciplinary team in residential and domiciliary care settings. An extension of knowledge developed in NRSG259 Promoting Health in Extended Care will enable students to further develop their understanding of how pathophysiological conditions such as cognitive impairment affect older people and their families in relation to their cultural background, physical functioning, independence and autonomy. The unit will also provide the background knowledge for the student to assist older people and their families to live their lives with maximum enjoyment and quality of life, whether they require curative, rehabilitative supportive or palliative care services.
