Course description

NURS-6501 Advanced Pathophysiology

Advanced practice nurses must be equipped with an in-depth understanding of pathophysiological disease processes across the lifespan. In this course, students focus on understanding the bio-physiological processes, the deviations from these processes, and an in-depth examination of the scientific concepts related to the biology of disease processes. Advanced practice nursing students build on their knowledge of normal organ systems functioning to help organ systems return to optimal homeostasis. Through knowledge of pathophysiological disease processes, students synthesize the information needed to develop appropriate treatment plans for patients across the life span. Students explore a variety of topics regarding organ system diseases.

Module 1: Foundational Concepts of Cellular Pathophysiology

Module 2: Cardiovascular and Respiratory Disorders

Module 3: Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders

Module 4: Endocrine Disorders

Module 5: Neurological and Musculoskeletal Disorders

Module 6: Psychological Disorders

Module 7: Women’s and Men’s Health, Infections, and Hematologic Disorders

Module 8: Pediatrics

Frequently asked question

The Assignment Develop a 1- to 2-page case study analysis in which you: Explain why you think the patient presented the symptoms described. Identify the genes that may be associated with the development of the disease. Explain the process of immunosuppression and the effect it has on body systems.

In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following • The cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms. • Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning. • How these processes interact to affect the patient.

The Assignment (1- to 2-page case study analysis) In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following: • Both the neurological and musculoskeletal pathophysiologic processes that would account for the patient presenting these symptoms. • Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning. • How these processes interact to affect the patient.

The Assignment (1- to 2-page case study analysis) In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following: • The factors that affect fertility (STDs). • Why inflammatory markers rise in STD/PID. • Why prostatitis and infection happens. Also explain the causes of systemic reaction. • Why a patient would need a splenectomy after a diagnosis of ITP. • Anemia and the different kinds of anemia (i.e., micro and macrocytic).

Nursing Guru

As a professional instructor with a lot of experience in healthcare education, I want to help shape the next generation of healthcare workers by teaching courses like NHS-FPX4000: Developing a Healthcare Perspective. Learners explore more about healthcare systems, policies, and ethics issues in this class. This helps them get through complicated healthcare settings and fight for patient-centered care. In NURS-6521 Advanced Pharmacology, students learn about the pharmacological principles that make treatments work to alleviate and control different health problems. With an emphasis on practice that is founded on evidence, students acquire the ability to think analytically about medications and make choices that will help patients the most. As part of NURS-6501 Advanced Pathophysiology, students learn more about the changes in the body that cause diseases. This helps them comprehend the causes, progression, and symptoms of common health problems. This basic information is what clinical thinking and differential diagnosis are based on. In DNRS-6630A-4/DNRS-6630-4/NURS-6630N-4 Approaches to Treatment, students learn about different types of treatment for people of all ages, such as drug-based, talk therapy, and alternative methods. Students learn how to give evidence-based care to a wide range of patients by closely analyzing different types of treatment and how well they work. Advanced health assessment methods, health history taking, and diagnostic reasoning are some of the things that students learn in NURS 6512 Advanced Health Assessment that help them get better at evaluating people. Students are taught to do full health assessments and make individualized care plans with an emphasis on ethnically mindful and all-around care. As a teacher, I want to create a dynamic learning space in which learners are pushed to think critically about course materials, work together, and use what they've learned in clinical practice. I want to give my students the tools they need to become skilled, caring, and culturally aware health care workers through engaging lectures, case studies, and hands-on activities.
