GNUR 500: Introduction to Gerontological Nursing will detail the unique roles and functions of geriatric nursing by exploring historical underpinnings, societal needs, and current issues. Canadian and international standards for gerontological care will be examined and woven throughout course content. A conceptual model for nursing acutely ill, chronically ill or frail elders will provide a ground work for use of best practice assessment tools and critical analysis. Communication skills for optimal teamwork will enhance the nurse's interaction with elders, family members and other caregivers.
