Prerequisite: BIO 144; BIO 154; BIO 214; CHE 134; CHE 144. This foundation course focuses on adaptive and maladaptive human responses to disruptions in normal physiology. The student will use knowledge of anatomy/physiology, chemistry, and microbiology as a basis for exploring and expanding how alterations in structure and function disrupt human body adaptation (maladaptation). Pathophysiology of disease is studied with emphasis on developing scientific rationale for nursing practice. (F)
