This review course will utilize the student’s knowledge and skills acquired in previous nursing courses to develop broader critical thinking and nursing management skills across the lifespan. Application of key concepts and prioritizing of nursing interventions are emphasized. Topics include a brief review of anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, nursing care, safety, and infection control, basic care and comfort, nutrition, pharmacology, communication, and developmental and cultural considerations required when caring for clients with alterations in the different organ systems. Students are encouraged to understand expected developmental changes related to health promotion/disease prevention activities and apply the nursing process in all phases of the life span as previously discussed in the prerequisite courses as follows: Fundamentals of Nursing, Medical Surgical, Gerontology, Mental Health, Maternity, and Pediatrics. In this course, students will be exposed to answering practice assignments and test questions from different external exam companies (E.g., HESI, KAPLAN, ATI, etc.)and many others as deemed necessary to enhance and give exposure to a variety of NCLEX-style questions. Upon completion of all course lectures, topical cumulative exit exams will be administered.
