This unit will apply case based learning to enable students to recognise clinical symptoms and provide associated nursing/midwifery care for conditions experienced by the adult patient/client with particular relevance to the Australian National Health Priorities. Case scenarios will be centred on the physiological, psychological, emotional, cultural and social wellbeing of the patient/client and have an emphasis on cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, endocrine, reproductive and immune systems. Pharmacology related to each clinical scenario, including pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, will be an integral aspect of this unit and enhance the students’ understanding of the principles of drug administration, actions, reactions and interactions. The impact of pregnancy and breastfeeding on these conditions and the medicines used to treat pregnant and/or breastfeeding women will also be addressed.
