advanced nursing practice that result from alterations of normal physiologic
functioning in cellular, tissue, and organ systems. Emphasis is placed on the
relationship between pathophysiology, decision-making, and standards of
advanced nursing practice. Prerequisite: Admission to the Master of Science in
Nursing or permission of the instructor.
