NRSG 4022 - NRSG Care of Trauma Patient

Institution:

Weber State University

Subject:

Nursing

Description:

This course will cover the systematic and standardized approach for assessing and managing patients who have sustained traumatic injuries. Students will be able to identify assessment findings that may vary in special populations such as pediatrics, geriatric, bariatrics and pregnancy. Students will be able to identify roles and responsibilities of each member of the trauma team and coordinate care to improve the patients' outcomes. This course will collaborate with other disciplines such as PARA 2020 to exchange case studies, allowing nursing and students from other disciplines the opportunity to share how they would approach and provide for the traumatically injured client. The exchange between these two classes will give students from both disciplines insights into the challenges, strengths, and limitations of their counterparts.
