-Differentiate the epidemiology, etiology, developmental considerations,pathogenesis, and clinical and laboratory manifestations of specific disease processes.  -Examine the way in which homeostatic, adaptive, and compensatory physiological mechanisms can be supported and/or altered through specific therapeutic interventions.  -Correlate changes and disruptions in major physiological systems and pathophysiologic mechanisms with clinical data resulting from physical examination, laboratory data, and diagnostic test data Select a disease/condition and develop a concept map. A concept map is a visual representation of interrelated concepts, systems, or processes. To better understand concept maps, review these web resources:  Suggested  common diseases such as CAD, MI, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, COPD, pneumonia, ARDS, pulmonary embolism, ischemic stroke, cerebral aneurysm, Guillain-Barré, ALS, intracranial hypertension, acute pancreatitis, peptic ulcer, hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, acute renal failure, chronic renal failure, renal calculi, diabetes mellitus, DKA, HHNK, diabetes insipidus, SIADH, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, leukemia, lymphoma, DIC, breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, BPH, prostate cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, testicular cancer, shock, fracture, arthritis, lupus, seborrhea, melanoma, etc. This list is not all inclusive and if you have another idea, talk to your faculty for approval. Choose a topic that gives adequate complexity to your map.  Health Science Science Nursing NSG 5140 Share (0)
