Summary of module
This module introduces you to the normal anatomy and physiology of the main body systems and builds on the foundations of the art and science of nursing practice across the life span. This will enable you to recognise co-morbidities and effective treatment strategies, which underpins the development of clinical skills and holistic person-centred care. It is envisaged you will develop the ability to apply human biological concepts that underpin safe, effective, evidence-based nursing practice.
Learning Outcomes for the module
Core Competencies
• CC = Community Connections and UEL Give Back
• CI = Cultural Intelligence
• COI = Cognitive Intelligence
• DP = Digital Proficiency
• EE = Enterprise and Entrepreneurship
• IC = Industry Connections
• PI = Physical Intelligence
• SEI = Social and Emotional Intelligence
Upon the successful completion of this module, learners will be able to:
Knowledge
1. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the anatomy and physiology related to the human body’s systems and functions relative to health, ill-health, and co-morbidity conditions relevant to nursing practice (PI, IC).
Thinking Skills
2. Demonstrate understanding of physical development and the implications related to the aging process (PI, COI, IC).
Subject-Based Practical Skills
3. Analyse and explain knowledge of nursing assessments which are underpinned by a robust biological and psychological rationale (SEI, PI, CI and COI)
Skills for Life and Work (General Skills)
4. Show understanding of how biological principles are used to underpin nursing practice in order to problem solve and communicate information to specialists and non-specialist audiences (CI, CC).
