and regulation in both the acute and community based setting.

            3.         Classify, cluster, and interpret assessment data (to include diagnostic studies) as it commonly relates to adults experiencing interferences in the human needs of

mobility, oxygenation, and regulation within the nursing process framework.

            4.         Formulate and prioritize standard nursing diagnoses common to adults experiencing interferences in the human needs of mobility, oxygenation, and

regulation.

            5.         Construct measurable goals for adults experiencing interferences in the human      needs of mobility, oxygenation, and regulation that are appropriate for commonly

                        occurring nursing diagnoses.

            6.         Plan nursing care consistent with goals and organized by priority of needs.

            7.         Select and prioritize standard nursing interventions (to include pharmacologic and nutritional interventions) that are known to be effective in the restoration of

                        optimal wellness, rehabilitation, and assisting with a dignified death in relation to adults experiencing interferences in the in the human needs of mobility, oxygenation, and regulation.

            8.         Recognize nursing actions that are known to be effective in the prevention of specific human needs interferences.

            9.         Select measurable patient outcome criteria which will facilitate validation and evaluation of the effectiveness of nursing interventions and resolution of human needs interferences.

            Critical Thinking

            10.       Interprets, analyzes, and evaluates complex human need interferences at an advanced level.

Manager of Care

            Caring

            16.       Propose nursing interventions that assist adults experiencing interferences in the human needs of mobility, oxygenation, and regulation to meet needs of mobility, oxygenation, and regulation to meet needs, achieve personal goals and maximize potential.

17.       Propose nursing interventions in the plan of care that facilitates physical and emotional independence of adults with interferences in the human needs of mobility, oxygenation, and         regulation.

            18.       Describe specific interventions that meet anticipatory needs of adults with interferences in the human needs of mobility, oxygenation, and regulation.

            Teaching/Learning

            19.       Discuss teaching/learning needs of adults across the health-illness continuum in relation to mobility, oxygenation, and regulatory needs.

            Skills

            20.       Determine critical elements of skill performance in critical thinking simulated situations for adults experiencing interferences in the human needs of mobility, oxygenation, and regulation.

            Responsibility/Accountability
