Upon completion of the program, the student will be able to: Integrate chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and pharmacokinetics of anesthesia and adjunct drugs into working care plans Recognize chemical structures of anesthesia and adjunct drugs and make lateral applications based upon drug profiles and kinetics Discuss normal physiology and anatomy of the central nervous system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, renal system, endocrine system and digestive system Identify and explain the pathophysiologic conditions that occur in systems and make application in the administration of anesthesia Discuss the special considerations, anatomical and physiologic differences in neonates, infants, children, and apply the information in the administration of anesthesia Discuss the normal physiologic changes of pregnancy, the physiologic changes in disease/high risk states in pregnancy, and apply the information in the administration of anesthesia to the parturient for delivery and surgical conditions not resulting in delivery Explain the pathophysiology of various congenital heart diseases, coronary artery disease, and adult valvular heart disease Identify the anatomy necessary to safely administer regional anesthesia; Identify special considerations, physiologic and pharmacologic profile changes of the geriatric patient Discuss issues related to the practice of nurse anesthesia, including ethics, history, reimbursement, managed care and the business of anesthesia Design and conduct a research project Explain the differences between licensure, accreditation and certification
