Course details
Pediatric Critical Care Nursing Theory 3 continues to build on the concepts introduced in the first two theory courses and introduces students to more complex health concerns. Students will continue to advance their understanding of pediatric pathophysiology, assessment, critical thinking and decision making related to a variety of health challenges experienced by the critically ill child or adolescent. In addition, students will build on the comprehensive assessment strategies and strategies to optimize oxygen supply and demand balance to care for the critically ill child facing serious a health crisis (e.g., trauma, neurological injury, burns, septic shock, congenital cardiac defects, cancer and end of life care). Students will continue to be challenged to make clinical decisions and plan care for selected critically ill individuals. As in all the pediatric critical care courses the concepts of family-centred care, relational practice and inter-professional practice, professionalism, communication, collaboration and partnership are threaded throughout.
