CASE STUDIES IN ADVANCED PHYSIOLOGY

Current Seminars Seminars By Date Seminars By Region Objectives Schedule Faculty

INTRODUCTION

The SCIENCE of NURSING is based on physiology, pathophysiology and research. It is essential for critical care nurses to have a firm foundation in each of these areas.

Using a CASE STUDY APPROACH, this seminar will explore, in cellular detail, the pathophysiology behind some of the more complicated problems in critical care today. Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS), the mechanism of bleeding and treatment options, hemodynamic drug therapies, and trauma resuscitation principles all will be discussed.

The emphasis will be on advanced physiology, pharmacology and assessment strategies. This complex information will be related to bedside problem-solving and will allow participants to advance their clinical abilities. The ART of NURSING is to apply the SCIENCE to the care of the critically ill. This seminar will address both the SCIENCE and the ART of NURSING.
