HTHS 1120 - Case Studies in Health Sciences (3) F, Sp Case Studies in Health Sciences is a WSU Online course designed for students wishing to explore the interdisciplinary nature of health care using case study models. Each case study focuses on a disease process. Progression through each case study involves a review of anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, medical terminology and a study of health professionals including their educational and training requirements. Additionally, the student will explore key medical diagnostic tests (e.g. laboratory, imaging) used in patient disease diagnosis, management and prevention. The course emphasizes the importance of the team approach to patient care. Prerequisite: HTHS 1101, HTHS 1105 and HTHS 1106 or HTHS 1110 and HTHS 1111 or an equivalent course in anatomy and physiology. WSU Online class only. HTHS 1130 - Common Medicines (3) (offered only as needed) This is an introductory course and will provide information regarding proper drug usage for persons without significant backgrounds in the Biological Sciences. The course primarily discusses over-the-counter medicines as well as prescription drug groups which are commonly used by the public. The overall objective will be to provide information in such a way that individuals are more aware of possible drug-related problems, able to make wise and appropriate choices, and become well-informed consumers. HTHS 2230 - Introductory Pathophysiology (3)Su,F,Sp An introduction to the nature of disease and its effect on body systems. Prerequisite: Completion of anatomy and physiology courses with a grade of "C" or better. HTHS 2231 - Introductory Pathophysiology Laboratory (l) Su, F, Sp Laboratory and computer exercises involving analysis of both clinical and laboratory data. Students evaluate signs, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of various pathological conditions and diseases. One two-hour laboratory per week. Co-Requisite: HTHS 2230. HTHS 2240 - Introduction to Pharmacology (3) Su, F, Sp Introductory pharmacology course which covers pharmacological principles including modes of action, uses, modes of excretion, and patient side effects of various drug classes. The drugs are presented in a "system approach" with emphasis on medications utilized in diagnosing and treating diseases associated with the various body systems. Class format includes a 3 hour lecture class with students participating in oral presentations and case studies. Students taking the HTHS 3240 course for upper division will also be required to write a 10 page paper on an application of pharmacological principle applied to a drug class. Students taking HTHS 2240 cannot take HTHS 3240 for credit. Prerequisite: (Recommended) HTHS 1101, HTHS 1110 and HTHS 1111.
