This course focuses on health and illness concepts for complex acute and chronic conditions across the lifespan, and which inform the provision of safe and effective nursing care. Emphasis is placed on concepts including oxygenation, homeostasis and regulation, protection and movement, and coping; and on professional nursing concepts including selected professional attributes and care competencies. Students apply concepts in seminar, lab, and/or clinical settings, and can put concepts into practice upon completing the course. The California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) requires that students must be enrolled in ADN 231 and ADN 231L at the same time and pass both courses together: the courses cannot be taken individually for credit.
