Basics of Clinical Nursing 2 (6cr)

Objective

Students understand the structure, function and regulation of the human organism and the underlying factors. Students can apply the principles of preventing infections and explain why this is important in clinical nursing. Students know how to assess resources of patients and families from different cultural backgrounds and support them in planning, implementation and evaluation of nursing care. Students are able to respond to needs for care by evidence-based nursing interventions and they know how to store the data using uniform structured documentation and relevant classifications. Students assess needs for care using appropriate clinical and physiological tools or instruments, prioritise their findings and enter them onto the structured documenation system. They know how to act in common first aid and life support situations. Students take an ethical, rehabilition and resource-centred approach to their work with patients and family members of all ages. Students implement Fnnish nutritional guidelines. They understand the principles of safety management and sustainable development and are aware of their own responsibility in promoting these principles at the workplace.
