COREQUISITES: NRSG 100 - Fundamentals of Nursing
PROGRAM: Nursing
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3

Simulated patient care provides an opportunity to develop the psychomotor skills necessary to provide nursing care to meet basic patient needs. Emphasis is placed on the use of standard precautions, provision of a safe care environment, and maintenance of patient privacy and basic principles of documentation. Through the use of additional simulated patient care activities and mastery of basic care principles, students are provided the opportunity to develop progressively complex nursing skills to include sterile technique, airway maintenance, nutritional and fluid support, elimination devices, specimen collection, medication administration, drug dosage calculations, and more advanced principles of nursing documentation.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Demonstrate nursing skills and assessments utilized in meeting basic needs of patients while recognizing need for culturally competent care through the effective use of technology and standardized practices that support safety and quality and reduce risk of harm to self or others. (SLO 1, 3 & 7)
- Demonstrate competencies in techniques necessary to maintain a safe patient care environment to minimize risk of harm to patients and providers through both system effectiveness and individual performance. (SLO 1, 2 &7)
- Demonstrate awareness of the need to protect patient privacy, explore ethical and legal implications of patient-centered care, facilitate informed patient consent for care, and appreciate shared decision-making with empowered patients and families. (SLO 4, 5 & 6)
- Utilize principles of infection control, standard precautions, and evidence-based practice when performing psychomotor skills to demonstrate knowledge of basic scientific methods and processes and value the concept of EBP as integral to determining best clinical practice. (SLO 2, 4 & 7)
- Apply fundamental principles of handwritten and computerized documentation to record basic patient care that progresses to the ability to document more advanced nursing care. (SLO 3 & 5)
- Safely demonstrate progressively complex nursing skills and make judgments in practice, substantiated with evidence, that integrate nursing science in the provision of safe, quality care and that promote the health of patients within a family and community context. (SLO 1, 4, 5 & 7)
