NURS 748 - Advanced Pathophysiology


Credit(s): 3
Prerequisite(s): None.
This course focuses on human alterations of various physiological systems. This includes the pathophysiology of frequently encountered primary care conditions across the life span and special populations. In-depth case analyses of risk factors, pathophysiological changes, and associated clusters of signs and symptoms will be discussed, including pathophysiological theories and evidence-based research as a basis for advanced practice nursing (APN). This is a graduate level course and it is expected that the student already has sound foundational knowledge regarding anatomy, physiology, and basic pathophysiology. This knowledge should have been obtained through coursework as an undergraduate student and through providing hands-on nursing care in a variety of health care settings over a period of time.

   

This course requires a grade of B (3.0) or better.
