NURS 5104
Advanced Pathophysiology (3)
This online course focuses on the pathophysiology of common disease conditions affecting human beings across the life span with the major focus on adult disease. Content builds on basic anatomy and physiology, microbiology, and chemistry. The pathophysiologic bases of common human health alterations and associated clinical manifestations are discussed.

NURS 5105
Advanced Clinical Pharmacology (3)
This is a course that will focus on the underlying physiological causes of disease state in the acute and critically ill adult client. Using a body systems approach, content will address the major pathological alterations managed in the acute and critical care setting for clients who are hemodynamically unstable and technologically dependent. Mastery of course content provides the student with the pathophysiological bases required for the diagnostic and therapeutic decision making fundamental to the management of disease states, specially seen in culturally diverse and vulnerable populations.

NURS 6930
Information Technology for Evidence-Based Practice (3)
This course explores the many ways in which information is used in making health, health care, and nursing decisions. Emphasis is placed on the locating, accessing, and evaluating information through search and critical appraisal skills as a basis for evidence-based practice. Integration and communication of information for decision making is a prominent feature of this course.

ADHA 5107
Advanced Health Assessment (3)
Building upon basic health assessment skills, this course is
designed to provide a core of physical assessment competencies necessary
for
the nurse in advanced practice. An
advanced health assessment includes a comprehensive health history and
physical
examination related to current health patterns across the life span of
the
patient within the context of the family. The purpose of an advanced
health assessment is to provide an opportunity
for the student to develop a comprehensive understanding of the patient
in
order to determine appropriate and effective health care. It is intended
that the knowledge and skills will be reinforced throughout the
curriculum as the student prepares for a
direct patient care role.
Prerequisite: NURS 5104.
Corequisite: NURS 5105.

ADHA 5108
Advanced Health Assessment in Infants, Children, and Adolescents (3)
The application of advanced nursing knowledge and proficiency in the care
of children and their families is provided through the development and
progression of history-taking and physical assessment skills. Emphasis is on
health promotion/disease prevention strategies and the clinical management of
children with health problems.
Prerequisites: NURS 5102,5104,5105.

PNP 5104
Advanced Pediatric Pathophysiology (3)
This course examines pathophysiology unique to the growth and development
of newborns, infants, children, and adolescents. Embryology, genetics,
adaptation to extrauterine life, congenital anomalies, immunology, and the
physiology and pathophysiology of puberty will be discussed. Pathophysiology is
integrated with a developmental perspective to facilitate an in-depth
understanding of functional and dysfunctional integration of organ systems in
the developing human.
Prerequisite: PNP 5105.

PNP 5105
Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology (3)
This course will focus on pediatric pharmacotherapeutics with an emphasis
on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, administration, and education.
Prescribing practices, client education, and the developmental aspects of
pediatric pharmacokinetics and administration will be emphasized.
