Course Outlines
Advanced Concepts in Continence Care is an online course which builds on the introductory course Nursing Concepts in Continence Care. It integrates asynchronous learning modules and discussion boards as well as synchronous online tutorials which will focus on specific bladder and bowel incontinence issues that require specialized knowledge and management strategies. This will further expand students' understanding about the role that nursing can play in assessment, management as well as patient and staff education. Selected problem based clinical cases will be explored through online, interactive, multimedia learning modules. Online tutorial sessions will provide students with opportunities to discuss their assessments, identify contributing factors and consider treatment recommendations. Discussion Boards will also be utilized to provide students with the opportunity to interact with each other and the tutor. This course provides students with the opportunity to understand specific bladder and bowel issues that can arise related to underlying medical issues such as spinal cord injury, acquired brain injury, and multiple sclerosis. Understanding the factors that can contribute to complex bladder and bowel incontinence is essential in developing effective management strategies. This knowledge is essential when developing patient and staff educational materials. Pre-Requisite: NRS 101
