NUR 57400 - Pathophysiologic Concepts For Advanced Practice Nursing I


Credit Hours: 3.00. Students examine the principles of physiologic and pathophysiologic function at all levels of organization from cells to organs, systems and the human organism. They apply these physiologic and pathophysiologic concepts to understand how illness and disease alter cell and organ/system function that lead to clinical manifestations. The course uses homeostasis as a model to account for regulatory and compensatory functions in health and illness across the lifespan. Students develop the necessary theoretical and empirical foundation of subsequent understanding of the diagnosis and management of integrated human responses to disease and aging. This course is one of a two-semester series; this term concepts covered include dynamic regulation, cell structure and function, genetics and genomics, altered cell proliferation, host defense/immunopathology, nervous regulation/dysfunction, movement and integrative function and dysfunction. Typically offered Fall.
