(2 credits)
Based on a Christian worldview, this course examines the theoretical, scientific and ethical basis for the application of the nursing process with diverse normal and higher-risk children and their families.

The content builds upon the child and adolescent content in NUR280 Lifespan Health Assessment, NUR360 Promoting Shalom with Childbearing Families and NUR380 Promoting Shalom and Mental Health. Learning experiences include service-learning, case studies and faith reflection. Related clinical experiences are integrated throughout the nursing course sequence and provide an opportunity for nursing practice in acute care and selected community-based settings, assisting students to integrate knowledge, aptitudes and compassionate care in health promotion and restoration activities and in living the three nursing practice dimensions.
