Description
This course emphasizes a family-focused approach to health promotion, disease prevention, and risk reduction from birth to end of life. Common issues impacting individual, family, population, community, and global health are explored. Strategies for health promotion and disease prevention are addressed with consideration for culture, social determinants of health, and social justice.

Prerequisite: GNUR 442 Advanced Physiology; GNUR 413: Advanced Pharmacology; and GNUR 425 Advanced Health Assessment.

Outcomes: By the end of this course, advanced practice nursing students will: 1) Analyze data sources that identify and predict health risks of the individual, family, and community to facilitate development of clinical intervention strategies; 2) Integrate family systems theory and research on health promotion and disease prevention into strategies to manage health-related problems affecting family and community; 3) Synthesize broad ecological, global and social determinants of health to design evidence-based, culturally relevant clinical interventions and strategies; 4) Apply evidence-based guidelines to the identification and prevention of significant healthcare problems affecting populations at risk; 5) Distinguish cultural, spiritual, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, economic, environmental, and age cohort differences in the risk, presentation, progression, and treatment of health problems.
