Pathophysiology links cellular injury inflammation and organ dysfunction to observable signs and symptoms.  Course examines common disease processes across systems with emphasis on progression and complications.  Includes case based scenarios that require interpretation of labs imaging and clinical presentation.

Understanding disease mechanisms enhances clinical judgment and targeted nursing interventions.  Disease mechanisms and clinical implications for nursing assessment and planning.  Use pathophysiologic frameworks to prioritize assessments and anticipate complications in clinical settings.
