The concepts of pain, loss & grief, and stress will be integrated in learning about a variety of adult medical-surgical problems. These include: respiratory, cardiovascular, , gastrointestinal, , and ENT selected common problems

In this course, one of the most important computer programs is studied, which is the Excel program for creating tables, processing data, using some mathematical functions, as well as creating graphs based on written tables.

Health assessments are usually structured screening and assessment tools used in primary care practices to help the health care team and patient develop a plan of care. Health assessment information can also help the health care team understand the needs of its overall population of patients. Health assessments can vary in length and scope

Take advantage of weapons of mass destruction.

Course Description:

An introduction to the basic concepts and principles of microbiology as it affects human health. Topics include the process of disease transmission, immunology, physical and chemical methods of disease prevention and control, as well as major infectious diseases of the body systems.

Course Prerequisite: Pursuit of a Nursing program and the successful completion of two of these three courses - chem/biochem for nurses, anatomy and/or physiology.

Purpose: This course is intended to provide a knowledge base in the discipline of microbiology to nursing students. The course will cover basic concepts and principles of microbiology and their application to human diseases and infection control. Knowledge acquired in lecture will facilitate laboratory exercises which will demonstrate practical laboratory skills pertaining to basic microbiology and in the healthcare arena.

The course covers the basic pharmacological principles of drug production, import, and export and drug safety. Students learn the basic calculations that are needed by the nurses. The course then covers the pharmacology of various drug classes acting on different body systems such as the autonomic nervous system, and cardiovascular system.
