NURS 366 - Pathophysiology

Institution:

Winona State University

Subject:

Description:

Focuses on the systematic study of the functional changes in cells, tissues, and organs altered by disease and/or injury and the effects that these changes have on the total body function. Pathophysiology will also focus on the mechanisms of the underlying disease thereby providing the background for preventive as well as therapeutic health care measures and practices. Knowledge of anatomy and physiology and the various organ systems of the body is an essential foundation for this course. Students will gain scientifically based knowledge needed to make sound clinical observations, as well as the rationale health professionals provide for their actions in practice. Understanding of disease requires both descriptive evidence and an evaluative component in which students begin to take into account the complex interactions among the body, mind, culture, and spirit.
