NU 332 - Gerontological Nursing Seminar

2 Credit Hours
The purpose of this course is to prepare future nursing professionals to care for aging populations with an emphasis on cultural, economic, and societal influences. Students will be introduced to key concepts in gerontology by exploring content related to the study of old age, and health related issues most common in aging populations. Students will also obtain knowledge needed to care for today’s aging society given current population trends. Aging related demographics are covered as they relate to the nurse’s role in identification of practice issues, integration of best evidence, evaluation of patient outcomes, and sharing best practice within the interdisciplinary health care team.
