About this Unit
From 2018 this unit is replaced by 401209 Health Variations 2: Chronic Illness and Disability. This unit explores the concepts of chronicity, disability, habilitation and rehabilitation in relation to chronic conditions, functional and intellectual disabilities and their implications for nursing practice. National Health Priority Case Studies drawn from across the lifespan will provide a focus for exploring pathophysiology, pharmacological interventions and nursing care related to chronic conditions of the endocrine, neurological and respiratory body systems. In addition, the nursing role in supporting those with physical and intellectual disability will be examined. This unit provides theoretical underpinnings directly related to Professional Practice Experience 4.
