NURS-416: Promotion of Adaption in Newborns, Women and Childbearing Families for ABSN Students

This course uses the Roy Adaptation Model (1999) of the nursing process to promote adaptation in childbearing families. Nursing interventions are based on research finding to maximize the childbearing family’s physiologic-physical, self-concept-group identity, role function, and interdependence modes.  The focus is on adaptive and ineffective human responses seen in pregnancy and the childbearing process. Physiological and behavioral deviations associated with ineffective human adaptive responses seen in compensatory and/or compromised health states are examined.  Clinical experiences occur in a variety of health care settings. Prerequisites: completion of 300 level Nursing courses, NURS 430, 436, and 464; Co-requisites: NURS 426, 465 and 470.
