GCU NUR648 All Assignments Week 2 Assignment 

Course Design Outline

Course design is guided by curriculum outcomes, and courses must be developed to ensure that students are meeting the intended outcomes. Curriculum development and course design are influenced by many factors, such as program level and setting. The course design process begins with broad program or organizational outcomes and narrows to specific objectives to guide instruction. The purpose of this assignment is to develop a course design outline for one setting, using one health care practice. You will choose a health care practice for this assignment and build upon it throughout the course in order to achieve an understanding of the curriculum development process.

Health Care Practice

Choose a health care practice and write an explanation of the practice that includes the following:

Summarize the health care practice you have selected.

Locate three evidence-based articles that support your health care practice choice.  Evidence-based articles chosen should not be older than 5 years.

Provide a rationale for each article you selected, including an explanation of how the article supports your health care practice choice.

Choose two different settings and explain how course design would be different for these settings.

Course Design Outline

Use your health care practice to create a course design outline based on evidence-based practice for one of your selected settings according to the suggested course design process provided in the Teaching in Nursing: A Guide for Faculty textbook.

Introduction

Nurses are responsible for providing the highest quality of care to patients. The nursing education seminar is designed to help students understand the scope of nursing practice, roles and responsibilities within the organization and how they can contribute to improved outcomes for their patients.

The nursing care of children can differ significantly from adults.

Nursing care of children can differ significantly from adults. For example, children are more likely to be in the hospital because of injuries or respiratory infections, while they may not require treatment as often as an adult would.

Children also have a higher risk of congenital disorders and developmental disabilities such as cerebral palsy, cleft lip/palate or spina bifida that require specialized care.

Chronic illness is a condition that lasts one year or longer and requires ongoing medical attention or limits activities of daily living or both.

Chronic illness is a condition that lasts one year or longer and requires ongoing medical attention or limits activities of daily living or both.

Chronic medical conditions include:

• Arthritis

• Cancer

• Diabetes mellitus (type 1 and type 2)

In addition to the above chronic diseases, other health problems can also cause you to experience the symptoms of chronic illness. These include:

Disparities in health and health care not only affect the groups facing disparities, but also limit overall gains in quality of health care for the broader population and result in unnecessary expenditures for the health care system.

Nursing education has a significant impact on the health of individuals and communities. Disparities in access to care, quality of care, patient safety and outcomes for patients with chronic conditions can be reduced by increasing nursing education.

In addition to being beneficial for individual patients, it is important that nurses gain knowledge about how best to deliver high-quality nursing services so that they can continue to improve their practice as well as contribute positively towards improving the health care system overall.

Epilepsy is a chronic condition that causes unprovoked, recurrent seizures.

Epilepsy is a chronic condition that causes unprovoked, recurrent seizures. Seizures are defined as sudden and involuntary muscle contractions of the brain or body. Seizures may be accompanied by abnormal sensations in the body such as tingling or numbness, loss of consciousness, or convulsions (seizure).

Epilepsy can be controlled with medication and lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.

A seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain.

A seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain. It can be caused by many conditions, including epilepsy and brain injury. Seizures can be partial or generalized, brief or long lasting; they may last for seconds or minutes, hours or days.

When you have a seizure, your body moves suddenly and uncontrollably like you’re having an epileptic fit (also called convulsions). This happens because abnormal electrical activity occurs in your brain when it shouldn’t be there. You may experience loss of awareness during this time—you’re not aware that anything has happened to you until after it’s over!

Seizures can be completely controlled with medication in about 70% of patients with epilepsy.

Seizures can be completely controlled with medication in about 70% of patients with epilepsy. The remaining 30% of patients are either not helped by medications or have a different type of seizure that does not respond to medication. If you have a seizure disorder, it’s important to know that your doctor may recommend surgery if there is no improvement after trying several medications over time and getting the okay from your neurologist (neurologist). Surgery may also be an option for people who have been taking their medicine for a long time but still have seizures even though they don’t cause any lasting damage..

There are many different types of seizures: partial (partial-onset), secondary generalized tonic clonic (GTC) and primary generalized tonic clonic (PGTC). Your doctor will decide which type is best suited for you based on how many times per day and length each type lasts before stopping completely

• Nursing care of children can differ significantly from adults.

• Chronic illness is a condition that lasts one year or longer and requires ongoing medical attention or limits activities of daily living or both.

Conclusion

A good night’s sleep is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. It’s important to take things slow and easy when trying out new techniques, so don’t worry if it takes some time before you get used to sleeping on your side or using a specific pillow!
