2.00 Credits
This is the second foundational pathophysiology course for nurse practitioners (NP's). Students are taught pathophysiology associated with disease and non-disease processes and clinical genetics principles as applied to nurse practitioner patient care. Alterations in physiology result in clinical problems and diseases managed by NP's. Cell dysfunction or deregulation manifests as systemic symptoms and associated disease. Content includes etiology, modifiable risk factors, exposures, physiological mutations, and specific/nonspecific mechanisms to optimize cell-tissue-organ-system function. Students identify, analyze, and evaluate evidence related to disease pathology of specified body systems across the lifespan for future patient management.
