Description

This course focuses on pathological factors that influence the disease process. Emphasis is on understanding the disruptive mechanisms that impact normal cell function and the physiological responses to the disease process. Risk factors and disease prevention are discussed to provide a foundation for health promotion, risk reduction, and management of the human response to disease. This course is foundational to all upper division nursing courses. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 211, BIOL 211L or Co-requisite(s): BIOL 211, BIOL 211L
