Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:
- Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
- Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
- Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
- Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)
If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.
NUR 756: Advanced Pathophysiology
Across The Lifespan
Lifespan
3 credits
Students will obtain an advanced understanding of concepts in human physiology and pathophysiology for advanced practice nurses. Concepts related to biological sciences including cell biology, tumor biology, immunology, genetics, and pathology are presented. The focus is on principles related to physiological and pathophysiological alterations across the lifespan.
Learning Goals
Integrate knowledge from the physical, biological, and social sciences to comprehend human physiological functioning across the lifespan.Identify the etiology, at-risk populations, pathogenesis morphology, and clinical and diagnostics manifestations of selected acute and chronic disease states across the lifespan.Integrate theories of and knowledge of human physiology to comprehend complex human systems. Apply self-learning principles in the advanced practice role in integrating current research-based findings to understand etiology, pathogenesis and morphological alterations of selected acute and chronic disease states across the lifespan.Recognize underlying physiological and/or pathophysiological alterations to health assessments findings across the lifespan and the effect on human systems.Analyze the relationships between normal physiological processes and pathophysiological processes across the lifespan while implementing into advanced care of all populations.
