This course examines advanced practice nursing care of the older adult with complex health problems across acute care settings. Normal aging processes and risk factors that affect the health and functioning of elderly patients are explored to determine best practices for managing those needs or risks. The focus is on the refinement of critical thinking and clinical management knowledge required to provide comprehensive physical and functional assessments, apply diagnostic reasoning, and plan evidence-based interventions for acutely and critically ill older adults from diverse populations. This course builds on content from previous AGACNP clinical management courses and is designed to be completed concurrently with the clinical residency course.
