Specialized Populations II: Pediatrics is designed to provide the students with the knowledge, understanding and nursing skills related to phases of childhood. Care of well and sick children and other family members’ needs related to those specific conditions are addressed. Abnormal conditions and disorders of children are discussed and experiences provided via simulation and lab. This unit builds upon previous concepts of developmental theory and provides the basis for the clinical experience. The concept of child abuse will be given particular attention as well as the legal aspect of recognizing and reporting abuse and coordinating with community resources. Math calculations for the specialized population are emphasized. QSEN competencies demonstrated are teamwork and collaboration, safety, and evidenced-based practice. QSEN competencies are evaluated through assignments, quizzing and group work.
