NU 325 - Understanding Pathophysiology (3)

A study of the physical and biological abnormalities in the body resulting from specific condition or disease process and considered the foundation of health care practice. Knowledge of pathophysiology helps guide physical assessments, medication management, and provides rationale for diagnostic tests in the treatment of disease processes, as well as the management of  general health care and disease prevention. Prior knowledge of anatomy and physiology will provide a strong foundation as we explore changes in the body as a result of acute and chronic health conditions. Prerequisite: 100-Level Biology with a grade of ”C” or better. Prerequisite or Corequisite: BI 220  with a grade of “C” or better. FA, SP, SU. (as needed)
