practice by focusing on illness management, (b) advance
the practice of other nurses and nursing personnel, and

support and improve the practice of nursing. Client
populations may be selected from the areas of critical
care, adult medical-surgical, or gerontology with the
instructor's consent. Prerequisites: Academic Core and
