This unit will continue using a case based learning body systems approach to identification of clinical symptoms and nursing and midwifery care for conditions experienced by the adult patient/client, and apply it to the management and treatment of haematological, gastrointestinal, neurological, musculoskeletal and reproductive disorders.
