Psychiatric-Mental Health Advanced Practice Nursing Across the Lifespan I

The first of three in the Psychiatric-Mental Health Advanced Practice Nursing series, this course focuses on promoting optimal mental health treatment for populations in diverse settings through practice, leadership, and advocacy that is evidence-based, reflective, and ethical. Students examine neurobiological, psychosocial, developmental, and nursing frameworks to conduct mental health evaluations and risk assessments; formulate diagnoses; and implement evidence-based, patient-centered care across the lifespan. Societal influences on mental health, such as race, ethnicity, gender, poverty and violence are explored; and factors related to mental health promotion and treatment are identified.
