• NRSG 6210: Advanced Pathophysiology I

  2.00 Credits

  Weber State University

  
  This is the first foundational pathophysiology course for nurse practitioners (NP's). Students are taught pathophysiology associated with disease and non-disease processes such as pain. 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.

• NRSG 6220: Adv Health Assess/Diagnostic

  2.00 Credits

  Weber State University

  
  This course allows students to transition into the role of the nurse practitioner through the practice of clinically relevant activities such as comprehensive holistic health history, the use of motivational interviewing, a systematic physical assessment, and critical reasoning to determine appropriate differential diagnoses. Classroom student learning activities, nursing practice lab, and select standardized patient encounters are used to present and practice physical assessment for nurse practitioner (NP) patient-centered care. Students focus weekly on a body system and incorporate assessment and diagnostic reasoning skills for patients across the lifespan. NP students use a systematic critical thinking approach to diagnostic reasoning and assessment competency.
