Concept-based curriculum that helps students synthesize nursing practices and address challenges

• A focus on the core concepts of modern nursing, rather than rote memorization, encourages students to use clinical reasoning, apply information, and incorporate concepts into their practice.
• An examination of 21 biophysical concepts common to concept-based curricula assesses their normal function, relationships with body systems, and typical alterations across the lifespan.
• Exemplars illustrating the concepts demonstrate typical alterations and standards of care. The exemplars reflect prevalence rates and select national models and initiatives.
• Expanded - Some concepts were revised in response to requests by instructors, resulting in a comprehensive set of concepts covering the essentials of nursing education.
