This course is designed to expand the basic knowledge and skills the student has mastered in Fundamentals/MS 1, with emphasis on selected psychosocial, physiological, and sociocultural needs and deficits of the client. Emotional and behavioral responses during the process of maturation (throughout the life cycle) are examined. Aspects of Pediatric Health experiences are studied and analyzed. The nursing process approach is further developed in the classroom and clinical settings, as well as the nursing interventions and skills specific to these states.
