Nursing Care Across the Kidney Disease Trajectory

This course deepens the learner's understanding of authentic therapeutic relationships within the context of caring for the person with kidney disease through health promotion, disease prevention and management, and palliative care/end-of-life care. A person- and family-centered approach is emphasized as foundational to developing and implementing an individual plan of care in collaboration with the interprofessional team. Team-based interventions to support patient empowerment and well-being throughout the lifespan and course of treatment are stressed.
