NUR (0302) 756 - Advanced Pathophysiology Across the Lifespan
Credits: 3.00
Students will obtain an advanced understanding of concepts in human physiology and pathophysiology for advanced practice nurses. Concepts related to biological sciences including cell biology, tumor biology, immunology, genetics, and pathology are presented. The focus is on principles related to physiological and pathophysiological alterations across the lifespan.
Prerequisite 1: NUR 602 and NUR 704
Corequisite: NUR 763
Repeatable: No Grade Type: Regular
Course Learning Goals: Integrate knowledge from the physical, biological, and social sciences to comprehend human physiological functioning across the lifespan.
Identify the etiology, at-risk populations, pathogenesis morphology, and clinical and diagnostics manifestations of selected acute and chronic disease states across the lifespan.
Integrate theories of and knowledge of human physiology to comprehend complex human systems.
Apply self-learning principles in the advanced practice role in integrating current research-based findings to understand etiology, pathogenesis and morphological alterations of selected acute and chronic disease states across the lifespan.
Recognize underlying physiological and/or pathophysiological alterations to health assessments findings across the lifespan and the effect on human systems.
Analyze the relationships between normal physiological processes and pathophysiological processes across the lifespan while implementing into advanced care of all populations.
