5 COURSE DESCRIPTIONS NB: Courses are offered subject to sufficient numbers enrolling and staff availability. Please check with the postgraduate programme secretary for latest details of the programme timetable and compulsory study days. Key: N Nursing I-D Interdisciplinary COURSE NO. & MODE OF DELIVERY BRIEF DESCRIPTION NO. OF CREDITS NZQA LEVEL MN8.401 / online MN8.402 MN8.404 MN8.405 MN8.406 / online MN8.408 **Advanced Clinical Assessment and Diagnostic Reasoning (N) This course begins with an overview of comprehensive health assessment and diagnostic reasoning within the context of current trends in expanding and advanced practice. Students will critically appraise their own understanding of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology required to develop advanced skills in interviewing, physical examination and diagnostic reasoning to identify knowledge deficits and learning needs. Skills, approaches and strategies for health assessment and diagnostic reasoning will be further enhanced. Students will be required to engage in significant independent learning and fieldwork. Students will undertake a range of activities to demonstrate advanced clinical assessment skills, critical thinking, and the application of diagnostic reasoning strategies. **Advanced Pathophysiology for Health Professionals (I-D) This course builds upon undergraduate study and the knowledge embedded in practice. The course will explore complex adult and child disease processes in order to support advanced diagnostic reasoning and therapeutic interventions for these client groups. This course assumes knowledge of normal physiological function and directs the student towards a progressive and more critical understanding of altered, complex health states. **Advanced Practice for Disease Management (N) This course provides an in-depth review of adult disease management, its impact on health care provision and the need for integrated care across all health disciplines and services. Students will reflect on disease management as a complete, rather than fragmented, approach to care, with an emphasis on risk assessment and early intervention that focuses on reducing morbidity in individuals with chronic illness. Teaching and learning approaches in the course allow students to examine disease management from their own professional, clinical, contextual and service orientations, thus allowing them to develop clinical and professional leadership skills commensurate with their scope and level of clinical practice. This course also forms part of Nurse Practitioner preparation for those students seeking endorsement with the New Zealand Nursing Council. Ethical Concepts and Legal Issues for Advanced Practice (I-D) This course advances knowledge and understanding of ethical and legal principles associated with health care. Students explore questions and reflect on issues concerning the equity and appropriateness of health care services. It provides the opportunity for students to develop knowledge and skills in ethical and legal decision making, and critically appraise various issues associated with ethics and law. Advanced Practice to Support Child and Family Health (I-D) Health care technologies and approaches to care are dynamic. Many of these changes affect both the person/individual and the family as a whole. Arising from this starting point, this course draws on knowledge of the child/tamariki, youth/rangatahi and families/whānau. The child/youth within the family as the centre of health care will be examined and explored from a wide range of perspectives and disciplines. Health Services Management (I-D) This course is intended for those working in health service management and those considering the possibility of a management role. It is anticipated that students participating in this course are able to apply their knowledge and skills to their chosen area of practice. Students will be encouraged to identify and reflect upon the legal and regulatory requirements for health service management as well as the quality management ramifications arising from these.

Research Paradigms and Methods (N) This course explores a range of paradigms, approaches and techniques for scholarly inquiry in research, with the aim of enabling students to establish a solid foundation of knowledge in this regard, with particular emphasis on the New Zealand cultural and socio-political context. Students explore contemporary methodological and ethical issues associated with research in the context of their individual professional practice area and from the perspective of application of findings in nursing practice. Pharmacotherapeutics for Advanced Nursing / Midwifery Practice (N) This course aims to allow the student to develop a conceptual understanding of pharmacology and therapeutics by building a foundation of knowledge of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. This knowledge will underpin critical analysis of the impact of life stages and disease states on drug therapy and will be complemented by an understanding of drug safety issues. Advancing Specialty Practice (I-D) This course provides the opportunity for students to critically appraise and reflect upon individual and organisational health care provision and to develop strategies for enhancing practice within a specialized area. This course requires the student to reflect upon, evaluate and record their personal journey of development on the continuum of specialty professional practice. Advanced Practice to Support Elder Health (I-D) This course recognises the diversity of the age group and the complex relationship between determinants of health, health status and well-being. With the steady increase in the number of older people, and particularly frail elders, it is vital that advanced practitioners are able to assess, plan and deliver appropriate and evidence-based services for this age group. The course examines the scope of independent/collaborative practice in relation to health promotion, maintenance and restoration of health, preventative care, rehabilitation and/or palliative care and encourages the generation of new approaches to the of expert care in different settings. Advanced Diabetes Nursing (N) This course develops advanced theoretical and practical knowledge of diabetes mellitus within a primary care framework to an expert level. Practitioners are assisted to explore the context of diabetes mellitus in relation to the impact of this disease on an international as well as an individual perspective. Contemporary issues in relation to pathophysiology, diagnosis, facilitating clients to reach target goals, and holistic strategies to improve outcomes and prevent co-morbidities will be discussed. Practitioners completing this course would be capable of providing diabetes education and therapeutic environments that support the patient/whanau with diabetes as well as primary prevention for the community. Registered Nurse Prescribing Practicum (N) This course represents the final praxis requirement for registered nurses (RN) who are seeking endorsement as a designated prescriber - registered nurse, with the Nursing Council of New Zealand. RNs are required to work with a nominated designated authorized prescriber (DAP) who will be their prescribing mentor, within a collaborative health care environment, for the duration of the course. **Integrated Disease Management (I-D) This course provides an in-depth review of adult disease management, its impact on health care provision and the need for integrated care across all health disciplines and services. Students will reflect on disease management as a complete, rather than fragmented, approach to care, with an emphasis on risk assessment and early intervention that focuses on reducing morbidity in individuals with chronic illness. Teaching and learning approaches in the course allow students to examine disease management from their own professional, clinical, contextual and service orientations, thus allowing them to develop clinical and professional leadership skills commensurate with their scope and level of clinical practice.
