Unit of Study: NURS5005 - Biomedical Therapies and Nursing
This unit of study builds on knowledge of the cellular and systemic organisation of the human body. A cell-tissue-body environment approach to pathogenesis will be used as a framework to facilitate the exploration of biomedical and pharmacological interventions and their relationship to nursing practices. This approach allows the student to develop an understanding of the applications of various biomedical therapies to disease processes with similar pathogenic derivations. The development of such conceptual schemas provides an understanding and approaches to the evaluation of medical interventions and their outcomes.
