Focuses on the health care needs of the traditional and nontraditional family during the childbearing years. The role of individuals, families and groups in an ever-changing health care environment is analyzed. Emphasis is placed on roles, relationships, adaptive and maladaptive responses experienced in the expanding family. The impact of cultural-spiritual needs on individuals, families and groups is compared. The nursing process is used to meet and promote adaptive responses to the health needs of the expanding family. Therapeutic communication is applied in the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health. Teaching-learning interventions appropriate for parenhood, family living, sexuality, and health care practices are emphasized. Ethical-legal principles and the role of the professional nurse are incorporated within the ever-changing health care delivery system. During concurrent clinical laboratory experience, the student will provide health care using holistic concepts to meet the needs of selected patients in the hospital or appropriate community settings to enable the student to apply knowledge and skills learned in the classroom.
