N756 - Advanced Pathophysiology Across Adult-Gero Lifespan

Course Objectives:

1. Integrate knowledge from the physical, biological, and social sciences to comprehend human physiological functioning across the adult-geriatric lifespan.

2. Identify the etiology, at-risk populations, pathogenesis morphology, and clinical and diagnostics manifestations of selected acute and chronic disease states across the adult-geriatric lifespan. 

3. Integrate theories of and knowledge of human physiology to comprehend complex human systems. 

4. Apply self-learning principles in the advanced practice role in integrating current research-based findings to understand etiology, pathogenesis and morphological alterations of selected acute and chronic disease states across the adult-geriatric lifespan.

5. Recognize underlying physiological and/or pathophysiological alterations to health assessments findings across the adult-geriatric lifespan and the effect on human systems. 

6. Analyze the relationships between normal physiological processes and pathophysiological processes across the adult-geriatric lifespan while implementing into advanced care of all populations.
