4.
Critically analyse assessment, diagnosis and management of patients with complex pathophysiology.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Exploration of the concept of complex care Dealing with the complexity of care across settings: Exploration of the complexity of care across settings: requiring input across settings, critical care/out of hospital/acute ward settings. Exploration of body systems from a lifespan approach and how each can create complexity e.g.: Respiration: examining respiratory failure and management of airway Relevant anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, psychology and pharmacology will be included and the student will draw from previous modules in particular Human sciences. Venturing beyond the body systems/clinical conditions and exploring aspects affecting care and creating complexity e.g.: the individual's responses to health changing experiences, communication, patient as partner and dealing with possible conflict (families/patients/staff), delegation and legal and ethical dilemmas.

Module Overview:
To develop critical understanding of the complexity of care in adult nursing. The module aims to develop the student's understanding of the complexity of care and equip them with the skills required in nursing complex cases. It will allow the students to experience caring for patients with complex needs and also to consider the effects of complexity on the patient, and on the family/carer. Students undertake guided independent learning and bring this to group activities in which scenarios are used to facilitate their professional knowledge and development.
