BNU2231 Medical Surgical Nursing: Respiratory System (NUODL 4/23)

Medical-Surgical Nursing is a nursing practice that focuses on the care of adult patients who are acutely ill, with different medical conditions or diseases and those who are recovering from surgery. 
Before you start to learn about various conditions of the respiratory system, you will need to go through a review of the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system.

Do attempt the pre-test provided on the respiratory system. Hopefully, the exercise will promote better understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system so that you can relate and understand better the various respiratory disorders. In addition to that you will find that pre requisites such as communication including taking of health history and non-invasive physical assessment skills will be very useful in expanding the knowledge base on which decisions are made in caring for the patients with alterations in the respiratory sytems.

Nursing being a very hands-on profession will require you not only to understand the disorders but common diagnostic studies, expected results and related nursing responsibilities. Remember that nursing process will be used as an organising framework for your nursing practices.

Enjoy your learning and good luck!
