NURS 201 - Health and the Developing Person

(3 credits)

This course focuses on the continuing, evolving changes that occur throughout the life of the person as he/she interrelates with the environment. These changes are identified within the perspective of Gordon’s topology of functional health patterns. Concepts from the natural, behavioral, and social sciences provide the students with a framework for identifying commonly experienced biological, psychosocial, moral, and spiritual developmental changes experienced by individuals. Implications for health promotion and anticipatory guidance for the various age groups are addressed. Prerequisites: BIOL 205, PSYC 101, SOC 101. Spring and occasionally summer.
