Advanced Pathophysiology
NR507- Advanced Pathophysiology
Course Outcomes:
1. Analyze pathophysiologic mechanisms associated with selected disease states across the lifespan.
2. Examine the way in which homeostatic, adaptive, and compensatory physiological mechanisms can be supported and/or altered through specific therapeutic interventions across the lifespan. (PO 1)
NR507: #1 Disease Process presentation- Influenza
NR507: #2 WK 8 Discussion course reflection
NR507: #3 WK 6 Discussion – cholinergic urticaria
Artifact #1: Disease process presentation assignment. the purpose of this assignment was to begin the exploration of the disease process. The topic I chose for this assignment was polycystic ovarian syndrome and I introduce the disease with a brief definition and description with risk factors and the connection to the etiology (NR 507 Syllabus, n.d). This assignment correlates with program outcome #1 by analyzing pathophysiologic mechanisms associated with selected disease states across the lifespan.
Artifact #2: Reflection discussion over weeks one through eight. The purpose of this assignment was to reflect over the past eight weeks and describe how the achievements of the course outcomes in this course have prepared the graduate nurse to meet the MSN program outcome, MSN essentials, and NONPF Core competencies (NR 507 Syllabus, n.d). This assignment correlates with program outcome #1 which relates to research findings in the management of patients with complex pathophysiologic dysfunction.
Artifact #3: PCOS PowerPoint part 2. The purpose of this assignment was to build on the presentation developed in Week 2 by submitting a PowerPoint presentation that contains thorough speaker notes, detailed information on the chosen topic, and the entire disease process presentation. This assignment correlates with program outcome #1 by integrating advanced pathophysiological concepts in the diagnosis and treatment of health problems in selected populations.
