ADN 227 - Nursing Care of Children

This course builds on the student’s medical/surgical foundation to develop nursing judgement in diverse pediatric and family-centered care. Throughout this course, students will delve into growth and development in pediatric populations from infancy to adolescence and recognize the integral role families play in a child’s health and well-being. As students explore the physiological, psychological, and social aspects that shape the care of children, emphasis will be placed on tailoring nursing interventions to the specific developmental stages and needs of pediatric patients.
