This curriculum guide for instructors provides a course of study (Nursing III) requisite for the third and concluding portion of a 1-year practical nursing curriculum designed to continue opportunities for career mobility in the health occupations. Content is in three sections: (1) Medical Surgical Nursing II, (2) Mental Health Nursing, and (3) Advanced Personal Vocational Relationships. Although it is designed to serve the third area of practical nursing instruction, the content is also considered appropriate for instructing more advanced nursing and other health occupations students. Each of the three sections is comprised of several instructional units: Section 1 includes 14 units covering diseases of several body systems, i.e., musculoskeletal, central nervous, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urinary, male reproductive, and endocrine, as well as the ear, eye, nose, and throat; skin disorders and allergies; neoplastic disorders; nursing the geratric patient; and rehabilitation. Section 2 has four units which include an introduction to nursing the mentally ill; personality development; emotional and mental disturbances; and the therapeutic environment. The two units in Section 3 cover finding and keeping a job; and legal and ethical responsibilities of the licensed practical nurse. Each unit is planned for more than one lesson and includes behavioral objectives, suggested activities for teachers and students, information sheets (cognitive content), and assignment sheets (practice for paper and pencil activities), job sheets (procedures for skill development), visual aides (transparency masters), and tests with answers.
