NR519 Module 6: Reflection: Part 2 (graded)
Due: August 12
3
Based on your response to Reflection: Part 1, state one insight that you gained
regarding the concepts in this module. Connect learning achieved to a minimum of one
course outcome addressed during this module.
Course Outcomes
•
CO 1: Differentiate normal and abnormal assessment findings within the context
of an individual’s cultural, ethnic and developmental perspective, in order to
holistically appraise health status across the life span. (POs 1, 2, and 3)
• CO 2: Apply knowledge of advanced pathophysiology and pharmacology to
determine variables impacting health. (POs 1 and 5)
• CO 3: Integrate knowledge of advanced health/ assessment, pathophysiology,
and pharmacology to provide evidence-based, advanced nursing care and
health promotion to individuals across the life span. (POs 1, 2, and 5)
• CO 4: Demonstrate an understanding of the implications of advanced health
assessment, pathophysiology, and pharmacology in advanced nursing practice.
(POs 1 and 5)
Module Objectives
•
Distinguish normal and abnormal findings in advanced assessment of the
neurological system. (CO 1)
• Relate the pathophysiological and pharmacological variables that impact health
of the neurological system. (CO 2)
• Apply knowledge of advanced physical assessment, pathophysiology and
pharmacology of the neurological system to advance nursing care for
individuals across the life span. (CO 3)
• Discuss the implications of advanced physical assessment, pathophysiology and
pharmacology of the neurological system for advanced nursing practice. (CO 4)
This is my answer from part 1:
In this module, I’d hope to gain more knowledge/insight about how the neurological system can
affect every part of the body. While in nursing school, I can remember a patient that I was
assigned to was a quadriplegic that was experiencing something called autonomic
dysreflexia. Of course, I had no idea what that was, but it was a way that their neurological
system was telling them they were experiencing some type of discomfort. The pain or
discomfort message doesn’t reach the brain d/t the spinal cord injury, therefore, they experience
other symptoms. I’m just amazed at God’s work.
