Through readings, lecture, case studies, and exams, the learner will develop enhanced knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disease processes across the lifespan. Understanding the pathophysiologic process will facilitate the graduate learner’s progression to understanding the signs and symptoms of the disease process and allow for appropriate diagnosing and treatment. </description><category>MSN Ed</category></item>
