Objectives of the Course The aim of this course is to reinforce, through clinical practice, the theoretical knowledge and skills that students acquired in the HEM 124 Fundamentals of Nursing course.
Course Content This course entails the application of knowledge and skills—acquired by students during the "Fundamentals of Nursing" theory course and laboratory practice—within a clinical setting, involving the care of actual patients. Under the supervision of an instructor and a clinical nurse, students perform nursing interventions related to the following areas: patient admission, orientation to the ward, transfer, and discharge; assessment of vital signs; infection prevention and hand hygiene; patient safety; personal hygiene and skin care; interventions concerning mobility and immobility; meeting nutritional and elimination needs; medication administration; and wound care. Utilizing the nursing process, students identify an individual ` s needs, plan and implement care, evaluate outcomes, and maintain documentation. The course aims to foster a professional attitude characterized by adherence to ethical principles, strong communication and teamwork skills, and a clear sense of responsibility.
