COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1.  Recognize and discuss implications of anatomy and physiology for patient care, including

    relationship of body structures and functions to health and disease.

Objectives:

Upon completion of this course the student will be able to:

1.  Discuss the importance of body planes and regions to patient care.

2.  Discuss the relationship of homeostasis to specific elements of patient care.

3.  Differentiate between healthy and compromised skin.

4.  Discuss the implications of cell damage and necrosis for health care conditions.

5.  Describe the possible effects of immobility on muscular skeletal system and other body

    systems.

6.  Discuss implications of pain symptoms and relationship to vital signs.

7.  Explain how the stress response is related to disease.

8.  State health problems arising from loss of vision/hearing/balance.

9. Identify and describe health care problems related to heart and coronary artery disease.

10. Describe the local and systemic effects of inflammation and immune system dysfunction.

11. Describe common manifestations of respiratory disease and patient care implications.

12. State general manifestations of urinary disorders and discuss patient care implications.

13. Discuss the value of diet and nutrition and its relation to healing and contribution to diseases.

14. Discuss common manifestations of digestive system disorders and patient care implications.

15. Discuss common manifestations of reproductive disorders, male and female.
