Course Description:

This course is the third in a series of four courses in human anatomy and physiology, immunology and microbiology for Nursing Students. Throughout these courses students are encouraged to appreciate that life processes have a molecular basis and that despite obvious differences, all living things have much in common. The program specific competencies: to develop an integrated perception of the human body and functions, and to link immunity/infections to physiological and metabolic mechanisms, are developed in all four of the biology courses. In this third course, the main topics are metabolism, reproduction and defense mechanisms, both general defense and immunology. Laboratory exercises, consisting mostly of computer simulations, complement class work.

Course Description:

In this Nursing course, students will integrate the knowledge and abilities learned in previous program-specific courses to care for adult medical/surgical patients with complex health problems. The 蘑菇视频 Nursing Model discussed in previous nursing courses will now be used in the planning and implementation of nursing care. Complex disease processes that affect multiple body systems (i.e. Diabetes Mellitus), chronic illness (i.e. Cirrhosis, Crohn’s Disease and Neoplasms) and concepts of Loss and Grief as it relates to chronicity will be explored. In the clinical area the student will have ample opportunity to elaborate on and apply the principles of surgical asepsis such as urinary catheterizations, tracheostomy and ostomy care and care of complex wounds and dressings.

In the Collaborative Therapies in Health and Illness I course, students will explore the use of nutrition and medications to optimize health. Nutritional and pharmacological support during recovery from surgery and illness and in the management of chronic diseases will also be discussed. In the first part of the course, students will examine nutritional requirements over the lifespan and discuss how age-related physiological changes impact both nutritional requirements and the pharmacokinetics of medications. Nutritional and pharmacological challenges specific to certain developmental stages will also be discussed. In the second part of the course, the role of nutrition and medications in illness prevention and treatment of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease will be examined. The nurses’ role in patient education regarding safe medication administration at home and ensuring patient adherence to nutritional and medication therapy will also be discussed.

In the course Collaborative Therapies in Health and Illness II, students will continue to explore nutritional and pharmacological management for diseases that affect the gastrointestinal, immune and central nervous system (CNS). Using the major body systems, chronic illnesses that are prevalent in today’s society and prototype medications as the organizing frameworks, students will develop a deeper understanding of the non-pharmacological (nutrition) and pharmacological treatment available to manage these illnesses. Case studies will be used to describe the pharmacological and nutritional aspects of nursing care. The nurses’ role regarding patients’ adherence to prescribed therapies (pharmacological and nutritional guidelines) will also be examined. At the completion of the two courses, students will have a comprehensive perspective of how nutritional and pharmacological management are intrinsically linked to optimize patient outcome.
