Utilizes the RAM nursing process to promote adaptation in young, middle-age, and elderly adults. Focuses on physiological and behavioral deviations associated with ineffective human adaptive responses seen in compensatory and/or compromised health states related to oxygenation (respiratory/cardiac); fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance (renal-urinary); activity/rest (musculoskeletal); endocrine function; neurological function; and multi-system conditions/diseases/states. Incorporates research findings in promotion of adaptive, physiologic, self-concept, role function, and interdependence responses in the adult. Clinical practice is provided in a variety of settings. Prerequisites: NURS 324, 330, 350; Co-requisites: NURS 310, 436, 430.
