NUR 57500 - Pathophysiologic Concepts For Advanced Practice Nursing II

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 disorders of blood and lymph, cardiovascular pulmonary function and dysfunction, reproductive health and disease, hormone regulation and endocrine disease, nutrition and elimination, and renal function and dysfunction. Typically offered Fall.
