Pathophysiology for Nursing Practice

Catalog description

This course builds upon knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and the biological sciences to examine pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying human disease. Students integrate cellular, molecular, and systems-level processes to understand physiological dysfunction, adaptive and maladaptive responses, and disease progression. Students analyze how genomic, environmental, and social determinants influence health outcomes and apply this understanding to support clinical reasoning, evidence-based practice, and professional nursing judgment across diverse populations.
