Learning Outcome 4:Apply knowledge of the
pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous, immune and musculoskeletal
systems to solve clinical problems.
Learning Outcome 3: Apply knowledge of
microbiology to selected infectious diseases
Relate the clinical manifestations and diagnostic findings of health
deviations to the underlying pathophysiology of disease states.
• An interpretation of ALL the patient risk
factors (from the case-study scenario) and a demonstration of
how these risk factors link and relate to the diagnosed
disease/disorders’ aetiology, using evidence-based literature.
• A step-by-step pathophysiological sequence between
the diagnosed disease/disorders’ aetiology and ALL the patient’s
clinical manifestations (from the case-study scenario), using
evidence-based literature.
