The impact of illness will be explored with implications for nursing practice, including discussion about ‘the lived experience’ on client and family health .

Also presented will be the nursing role in the care of clients experiencing impaired skin integrity, diabetes mellitus, altered respiratory functioning, and fluid and/or electrolyte imbalances. As part of the nursing role, principles of documentation, medication administration, and infection control will be discussed in detail.
