HTH 2303 Pathophysiology

What Is Pathophysiology in Nursing?

Pathophysiology is the study of the physical and biological abnormalities in the body that occur because of a condition or disease. In some ways, the pathophysiology is considered the foundation of nursing practice, as it helps outline a nurse’s main responsibilities, such as assisting in the treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, managing medications, assisting with diagnostic tests, and managing general health care and disease prevention for patients and their families. Nurses who know what pathophysiology is and are able to recognize its signs and symptoms can provide a higher quality of advanced care.

It has been said that migraine sufferers wish that a sign on their forehead would blink pain when they were hurting. Usually, we cannot see that someone else is hurting.
