Nursing Specialty High Acuity
NSHA 7201 - High Acuity Specialty Nursing Theory 2
High Acuity Nursing Theory 2 is the third theory course in your High Acuity Specialty Nursing Certificate. In this course, learners will build on the theoretical concepts explored in NSHA 7100, High Acuity Nursing Theory 1 and NSCC 7150, Dysrhythmia Interpretation and Management. High Acuity Nursing Theory 2 focuses on caring for patients who are experiencing various complex acute and often co-existing, chronic illnesses. NSHA 7201 provides opportunities for you to develop an advanced understanding of patients’ experiences of various acute illnesses, and often this acute illness occurs in patients who are living with a chronic illness. The presence of co-morbidities can create an unpredictable course of illness. This course provides opportunities for you as the high acuity nurse to identify the patient’s priority problems, and using the knowledge and abilities required to care for complex and acutely ill patients, provide appropriate and timely nursing care. In the high acuity environment it is the high acuity nurse who works most closely with the patient and this provides the ideal opportunity for the high acuity nurse to, early on, recognize a change in the patient’s condition. This course provides opportunities for you to recognize that the identification of priority patient problems and timely interventions can restore imbalances in oxygen supply and demand in order to provide optimum end-organ perfusion.
