First course in a two-semester sequence that provides the knowledge foundation for understanding alterations and adaptations in physiological processes in humans. The content builds the learner's knowledge from the physical sciences. The content selected for study is essential to critical thinking, clinical judgment, and therapeutic interventions in illness-related phenomena. Humans' ability to adapt to physiological alterations are presented and discussed throughout the course. Principles of pharmacodynamics and pharmakinetics are introduced and concepts of pharmacology are integrated throughout the course.

Focuses on nursing care of adult clients experiencing complex health problems, those with unpredictable outcomes, consistent with the ANA (2004) Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice. Therapeutic interventions address the nurse's leadership role of promoting health, guiding the person, and shaping the health environment through advocacy, multidisciplinary collaboration, evaluation of outcomes and effective management of resources. Socio-environmental factors influencing the person, nurse and health care decisions are analyzed.

Experiential learning practicum (simulation and mentorship) provides students with repeated opportunities to apply and refine their clinical practice in the care of persons with complex health problems. Students will analyze the professional nursing role, promote health, guide the person, and shape the health care environment through advocacy, interdisciplinary collaboration, and effective management of resources in acute and critical care environments.
