This course provides an overview of molecular, cellular and system-wide mechanisms that regulate the expression of goal-directed and emotional behaviors. Major emphasis will be placed on neurotransmitter systems, intracellular signaling pathways, and behavioral methodologies that can be used to quantitate the expression of complex behaviors in basic and clinical laboratories. Students will be presented with a comprehensive synopsis of classical psychopharmacological approaches as well as recent molecular methods that are used to manipulate the function of these systems in behavioral contexts.

This course builds on the skills, knowledge, theories, and concepts gained from Fundamentals of Nursing and the natural and social sciences. Comprehensive Nursing I applies the concepts of stress-adaptation, the nursing process, and human needs to the care of clients across the life span (the pregnant female, newborn, adult, child, and family). Health assessment and fluid and electrolyte concepts are introduced as core theoretical components. Theory and observations are integrated with the expectation that students will use concepts of interpersonal relations and principles of communication in interactions with individuals who are experiencing physiologic and psychosocial stress associated with problems of fluid and electrolyte balance, surgery, reproduction infection/immune, musculoskeletal system, sensory and alteration in blood glucose. Knowledge and observation of intraoperative care and of the adult med-surg client and pregnant female are incorporated as learning experiences. Further, students are introduced to the use of psychosocial principles in mental health nursing practice through theory, classroom and clinical conferences, and clinical experiences. The nurses’ role as communicator and teacher in collaboration and consultation with other team members is emphasized. Current professional issues are discussed throughout this course.
