Course details
Building on the concepts presented in Pediatric Emergency Nursing Theory 1 (critical thinking, assessment, and level of urgency), students work through more advanced and complex chronic and acute pediatric emergency patient presentations. Students will continue to develop a deeper level of pediatric pathophysiology, assessment, and decision making related to a variety of applicable topics, such as: pediatric triage, various shock states, respiratory distress, cardiac anomalies, oncology, accidental poisoning, and DKA. Students will begin to explore more advanced pediatric emergency nursing skills than those presented in Theory 1.
