PNE 105 - Nursing Throughout the Life Cycle
1 Credit Hour(s)
1 Lecture Hour(s)
0 Lab Hours(s)
Prerequisite(s): Acceptance into Practical Nursing Program
This course is designed to present the theory material necessary to introduce the student to the normal growth and development of man from birth to death. The course will introduce the student to development in terms of maturation, psychological, cognitive, and motor functions. Age groups will be presented, including differences, changes occurring, developmental tasks expected, and nursing implications. Without an awareness of the range and complexity of distinctions between age groups, a nurse cannot be cognizant of the client’s special needs or obvious factors related to health conditions. The individual will be discussed in relation to the health care system. The nurse’s influence on the client’s growth and development will be emphasized.
