NURS 6475 PMHNP I: Diagnosis and Management Across the Lifespan Theory

This course provides the theoretical basis for the competencies of the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) in health promotion, diagnosis and management in the psychiatric healthcare setting for infants, children, adolescents and their families. Problem based and self-directed learning strategies are used to review acute and chronic psychiatric disorders in this group of patients and families. Emphasis is placed on differentiating signs and symptoms to formulate possible diagnoses and determining the effect of the illness on this diverse population. In addition, the nurse practitioner's role as a collaborative member of the inter-professional team will be evaluated.
