NURS 4634 - Environmental Health



The purpose of this course is to explore the dimensions of the physical environment in which we live that have a direct bearing on the health of individual and community clients. The environment has long been recognized as a primary determinant of health. It is essential for the nurse to be able to assess and intervene when a health problem occurs or is likely to occur due to an environmentally related factor. Basic knowledge and concepts related to environmental health as well as specific factors that need to be incorporated into assessments, education and referrals will be addressed. The role of the nurse in advocacy, ethics and risk communication will be emphasized throughout the course.
