Credits: 3
This foundational course uses physiological concepts as a basis for understanding pathophysiological processes across the life span. Pathophysiological processes are selected from those commonly encountered in advanced nursing practice and include both disease processes and non-disease-based processes (e.g., pain). Emphasis is placed on the physiological and pathophysiological base for managing clinical problems. A working knowledge of undergraduate anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology is assumed.
