Course Code: NURS 322
Credit: (3)
Growth & development are ongoing processes
that represent the sum of the changes that take place in the lifetime of an
individual. The entire course is a dynamic process that encompasses several
multifaceted and interrelated dimensions: growth, development, maturation and
differentiation. Understanding normal growth and development is a mandatory
pre-requisite to understand the abnormal events that may occur during disease
processes. Also, it helps planning interventions to promote healthy well-being
at individual, family and community levels.
