General Information

Unit Synopsis

This unit provides you with the opportunity to develop expertise in the nursing care and complex needs of people with chronic and conditions. People may develop chronic and complex conditions at any age and require health care in the home, community or in acute care hospitals. Complexity may be enhanced by individual genetic make-up and /or life experiences. The biophysical capacities of people with chronic conditions indicate they may become more vulnerable to health and safety concerns requiring planned nursing care to address their health complexities. You will plan comprehensive health assessments and nursing care, in partnership with people and their families, to address their complex needs in different settings.
