Overview
This is the second of two units designed to immerse you in the healthcare journey of Australians as they experience alterations in health through an acute to chronic lens. Using a systems-based approach and utilising case studies, you will scrutinise the journey of healthcare consumers as they experience alterations in musculoskeletal, renal, immune and lymphatic systems, gastrointestinal, integumentary and reproductive systems health through an acute episode and follow along as their condition remains chronic. You will consider the nursing process required to support people with acute and chronic conditions and potential consumer deterioration. You will learn how to assist people living with a chronic health condition to implement self-management strategies to minimise exacerbations.
