Students continue to use the nursing process and critical thinking with emphasis on primary and secondary prevention as nursing interventions in clients experiencing threats to functional health patterns, including during the childbearing process and children whose normal lines of defense have been invaded by stressors to the degree that hospitalization is necessary. Nursing practice issues continue to focus on ethical-legal issues related to acute and/or chronic illness and disability. Management skills include delegation and career development.
