NURS 662: Primary Care II: Diagnosis and Management

This theoretical course for FNP and AGPCNP students focuses on the assessment diagnosis, and management of common acute and chronic conditions of the adult population (adolescent through older adult and frail elderly).  It incorporates scientific underpinnings of pharmacology, pathophysiology and advanced health assessment skills.  The focus is assessment, diagnosis, evidence-based management and evaluation of increasingly complex common acute and chronic conditions of the adult client.  Additionally, components of evidence-based diagnosis, management and evaluation of common acute and chronic women’s health disorders in the primary care setting are addressed, including the impact of preexisting conditions and common complaints of pregnancy.  Diagnostic procedures, laboratory tests, follow-up care and situations requiring referral are reviewed.
