NA645 Advanced Physiology and Pathophysiology I (6 cr.)Prerequisite(s): NA640 , Concurrent enrollment NA614 and NA618
This course builds on the Registered Nurse’s prior baccalaureate curriculum in anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology to provide an advanced study in physiology and pathophysiology across the lifespan. This course is the first in a series of two courses. Topics covered in this course include the upper and lower respiratory systems, cellular biology, genetics, neurology, endocrinology, human reproductive systems, pregnancy, and neonatology.
Upon completion of this course, students are expected to be able to do the following:
- Describe normal physiology for body systems across the lifespan.
- Apply the principles of physiology to recognize pathophysiologic states.
- Synthesize knowledge of altered physiology to articulate appropriate differential diagnosis of pathophysiologic states.
- Formulate a care plan based on a patient’s differential diagnosis.
- Interpret the implications of pathophysiological alterations across the lifespan.
- Describe the development of clinical manifestations of a disease based on the interrelatedness of pathophysiologic changes.
