This document discusses curriculum design, program evaluation, and a hypothetical nursing course focused on reproductive health. It provides an overview of curriculum design and the purpose of program evaluation. It then describes a proposed nursing course that focuses on reproductive health, women's health, and infant care across the lifespan. Learning outcomes for the course are outlined, which students are expected to achieve by applying nursing processes, communication skills, and clinical decision-making. The program evaluation for this course would include continuous assessment tests, multiple choice exams, and short answer question exams to evaluate students' success in meeting the learning outcomes.

(NUR 648E)- Curriculum Design and Program Evaluation. Curriculum design is an essential
part of a program design and it guides stakeholders to achieve overall desired course and
program outcomes. Program evaluation is a routine assessment of various parts of a
program and a measure of intended goals. Program evaluation is done for a variety of
purposes, including evaluating program implementation, determining program
effectiveness, providing direction, and guiding improvements. The purpose of this
assignment is to become familiar with the program evaluation process.(NUR 648E)-
Curriculum Design and Program Evaluation. ORDER NOW. Use the
program outcomes on the example lesson plan in Chapter 10 of the Teaching in Nursing: A
Guide for Faculty textbook. Create a hypothetical course framework that includes a course
description and learning outcomes. Provide a rationale for how your course fits within the
program and aligns to program outcomes. Your course outcomes should be different from
the ones in the example lesson plan. Include a detailed explanation of how you plan to
evaluate the course's success within the program.While APA style is not required for the
body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources
should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style
Guide, located in the Student Success Center.(NUR 648E)- Curriculum Design and Program
Evaluation.This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the

reproductive health, women’s health, post-natal care and infant care by demonstrating
critical thinking during the provision of comprehensive nursing care for women during the
reproductive period, and across life span through prevention/intervention strategies. The
course is also aimed to prepare nursing students to offer holistic nursing care to women
during their reproductive age and infants as well. The course will further provide students
with opportunities to practice clinical procedures allied to mothers, neonates and infants,
and also various methods of family planning. In addition, this will provide learners with
skills and knowledge that allow them to identify maternal conditions such as abnormal
labor, high-risk pregnancy, neonatal complications, and postpartum complications, as well.
Student will be expected to incorporate clinical skills gained in the classroom setting in the
actual clinical setting. Students will efficiently take part in identifying legal and ethical
problems, that assists in problem-solving and decision-making (Wijngaards-de & Merx,
2018).(NUR 648E)- Curriculum Design and Program Evaluation.Learning OutcomesAt the

interpret and manage actual and potential health problems in patientsApply therapeutic
communication skills when handling clientsSuccessfully provide pre-natal and postnatal
careSuccessfully identify serious identify maternal conditionsApply critical thinking skills
during clinical decision-makingDemonstrate professional standards of ethical, moral, and
