NUR 191 Practicum: Older Adult
This course provides each senior nursing student with the opportunity to practice gerontology nursing in an agency that services the older client. The Roy Adaptation Model, a conceptual model which guides the steps of the nursing process, and the Functional Consequences Theory are utilized to promote optimum health for the older client. The student will write a care plan with one modification for one older adult for which she/he is the caregiver. The student depending upon the clinical agency, will practice either the role of the registered nurse case manager or the role of the registered nurse in a nurse run clinic. Conducting a teaching presentation for the older adult, the older adult's significant other/caregiver and/or the agency's staff will also be an integral part of the practicum.
