This course will enable students to analyze nursing’s role as it relates to core competencies of community, public, and global health nursing. Principles of health promotion, disease prevention, and health restoration will be addressed utilizing the framework of Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN). Emphasis will be placed on the synthesis of concepts, theories, knowledge, and practice from intra/interprofessional sciences to determine the health status, needs, and assets of communities. Students will assess physical, social, and cultural environments to identify populations at risk to implement appropriate patient-centered and evidence-based nursing interventions.
