NU 570: Primary Care of Adults

Focuses on theory-guided, evidence-based approaches to health care promotion, disease prevention, and common acute and chronic disorders across the adult lifespan within primary care. Uses a body systems approach, and incorporates the physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, intellectual and cultural aspects of the individual when planning safe care. Students use advanced pathophysiology, pharmacology, and assessment skills to make differential diagnoses based on accurate patient history, physical examination and diagnostic work-up in order to create evidence-based treatment plans.
