Clin Anat for Adv Pract Nurs

1 Credit · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

This course provides advanced practice nursing students a regionally based clinical approach to the study of human anatomy at the macroscopic level. Case studies, online dissector software, and clinical anatomical imaging (e.g., radiographs, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging) will be integrated into asynchronous lectures and synchronous classes to augment students’ understanding of human structure and function as it relates to the assessment and diagnosis of human pathology. Anatomic landmarks and imaging for selected therapeutic and diagnostic procedures, such as thoracentesis and central line placement, will also be discussed. Differentiate selected structures of the body on cadaver, diagrams, and imaging studies Recognize anatomical variants as they apply to different disease processes and physical exam findings in adult and gerontology patients Explore the history of anatomic structure discovery and nomenclature as it pertains to non-consensual experimentation on people of color and vulnerable populations Select the appropriate diagnostic imaging studies based on regional anatomy Perform basic imaging interpretation Identify anatomic structures for the purpose of performing interventional procedures within the scope of AG-ACNP practice.
