This course addresses selected family, primary care, and community theories within the context of advanced practice nursing and clinical leadership roles. Emphasis is placed on family and community assessment strategies, the impact of culture upon the family and community systems, and the impact of various primary care-oriented health problems on family roles and functions. Relevant concepts and principles of epidemiology are applied to the current and emerging health status of families and communities. Students apply advanced clinical knowledge to the family system in a community setting. Students function interdependently with other health team members in the care of families and evaluate a plan of care using standards for advanced clinical practice.
