| Building on NUR524 Care of the Older Person 1, this unit advances nursing practice in supporting older people with complex health needs and multiple morbidity. You will critically evaluate current evidence guiding nursing care, including disease progression, pharmacological management, and the implications of polypharmacy. A central focus is promoting wellbeing through evidence-informed nutritional strategies, managing deterioration in home and care environments to minimise hospitalisations, and ensuring dignified end-of-life care. Using inquiry-based learning and case studies, you will critically appraise best practices, reflect on your professional impact, and develop leadership skills to enhance aged care outcomes within their communities. |
