NURS 6400 - Advanced Issues in Pharmacology and Pathophysiology

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Nursing

Description:

This course combines the two nursing concepts of pathophysiology and pharmacology. Builds on the biophysical concepts from foundational sciences, pathophysiological changes, and pharmacotherapeutics (pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenetics/genomics) associated with illness and disease. Within a quality caring framework, the relationship between these changes and pharmacotherapeutics is emphasized in the delivery of safe and person-centered care. Students will demonstrate effective, safe, ethical, and evidence-based care reflective of critical insight, clinical judgment, professionalism, and collaboration with the interprofessional team. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)** At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Person-centered Care: Critique the concepts and principles related to pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacotherapeutics. 2. Clinical Judgment: Evaluate biophysical concepts and processes relating to pathophysiological changes and pharmacotherapeutics. 3. Communication: Design evidence-based pharmacological care for advanced health promotion and prevention of illness and disease. 4. Compassionate Care: Integrate pathophysiological and pharmacological research findings to improve evidenced-based care. 5. Professionalism: Develop a nursing practice reflecting advanced critical insight, clinical judgment, and professionalism. FA, SP, SU
