considerable amount of time will be spent on the explanation of the concepts underlying thecurrent approaches to measurement. SPSS data outputs will be examined. Course topics arecovered in the order they might be confronted by someone faced with the problem of developinga new instrument. The first couple of classes provide an overview of the criteria that should beused to assess any measurement instrument. This knowledge will provide students with theability to review the literature to determine if any available tool is suitable for their researchneeds. The next couple of classes focus on the steps involved in developing a new scale.Attention to special issues such as cross-cultural validation is discussed. The final section of thiscourse focuses on data collection and management to ensure the best quality of data areavailable for analysis.(3 hours/week)NUR1100YPATHOPHYSIOLOGY & PHARMACOTHERAPEUTICSThis course will explore theoretical perspectives on the mechanism of altered functioning of humancells, organs, organ systems and the organism as a whole. Material in this course builds on theprevious knowledge of physiology and introductory pathophysiology. In addition, this course willprovide students with knowledge of basic pharmacologic concepts, including pharmacokinetics,pharmacodynamics and pharmacotherapeutics. Drug therapy considerations in special populationssuch as geriatric, paediatric, early immigrant, as well as in clients with chronic disease states andaltered hepatic and renal function will be discussed. Submission of a health evaluation andimmunization form is required prior to registration.(3 hours/week)NUR1101H (Adult)NUR1102H (Paediatric)NUR1114H (Primary Healthcare-Global Health)ADVANCED HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND CLINICAL REASONINGPrepare to perform advanced health and physical assessment of the child or adult and family whoare experiencing illness. Students must be competent in basic health and physical assessment,and the associated techniques prior to beginning the course. Models of clinical reasoning areinvestigated, critically reviewed and applied to a broad range of clinical case studies as studentsdevelop knowledge and skill in the collection of data, diagnostic approaches and formulation oftherapeutic plans in collaboration with clients and families. Practical elements of advanced clientassessment are addressed in terms of their impact on the client‟s health status, including physicaland mental status, psychosocial status, developmentally appropriate approaches to assessment,growth and development milestones, family, cultural and community factors, and the implicationsof determinants of health and risk appraisal. Clinical, theoretical and scientific knowledge issynthesized in the identification and management of existing and potential client states of healthand illness. Approaches to effective written and verbal communication of findings to layindividuals and health professional colleagues as they relate to the client and family areaddressed.
