NU 721 - Clinical Analysis and Diagnostics

Credits: 3

45 Contact Hours
Prerequisite: Advanced Pathophysiology
This course provides the practicing nurse practitioner with advanced knowledge of both the science and meaning of diagnostic reasoning as it relates to the evaluation and treatment of patients.  Traditional heuristics as well as evidence based practice in assessment and diagnosis of complex health issues will be compared and contrasted. Professional accountability, fiscal responsibility, and cultural sensitivity in the use of clinical diagnostics will be explored. In addition, this course provides the nurse practitioner with a more comprehensive knowledge of older as well as the latest technology in clinical laboratory tests and  roentography allowing the nurse practitioner to diagnose a wider and more complex range of patient conditions. This course will challenge students to synthesize an expanded knowledge base with their previous learning and experiences to become better diagnostic clinicians.
