ASPN 5506 – Critical Moments I

(3 credits – TG) Distance Delivery

This course uses an adaptation-development framework to examine selected critical moments that may occur in the perinatal or neonatal populations. Students will focus on one of the two patient populations: perinatal or neonatal. A critical moment is defined as the culmination of events that influences the patient to diverge from a trajectory toward health. For example, childbirth and the recovery phase are considered as critical moments in the perinatal period. Students will focus on one of the two patient populations. Students in the
neonatal stream will also focus on the therapeutic modalities that promote the childbearing family’s or neonate’s return to homeostasis.
