Pathophysiology II

This course builds upon the concepts presented in PN 330 (Pathophysiology I) and introduces the learner to the pathophysiology of chronic disease across the lifespan. The learner will continue to apply a case study approach to common chronic pathogenesis, relevant to chronic illness and while considering the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) "Three Factor Framework" (2018). Furthermore, this course will underscore the concept that some chronic health challenges may predispose the individual secondary acute illness, apply relevant medical terminology, and highlight common diagnostic testing. This course will support the knowledge, skills, judgment, and nursing attitudes required during all simulation (scenarios) experiences that occur throughout the Practical Nursing program.
