Foundations of Haematology Nursing
This unit of study is designed to meet the learning needs of nurses caring for adults and children with haematological disorders in a variety of clinical areas, such as general wards, cancer care, palliative care and the community. The content aims to broaden the student’s theoretical knowledge of the physiological principles of haemopoiesis, immune function and coagulation which underpin most haematological disorders and diseases. The pathological processes underlying common haematological disorders such as anaemias, coagulation disorders and bone marrow malfunction are examined and contemporary management strategies explored. Students are encouraged to evaluate their nursing practice against best practice guidelines and consider person-centered issues relating to diagnosis of chronic, life-threatening diseases.
