Module 2: Pathophysiology of Respiratory Diseaseslungs.gif (15651 bytes)


This module covers material found in McCance & Huether, Chapters 32-34. You will find it helpful to have read the referenced text material prior to beginning the learning activities.

Module Objectives:

  1. Analyze disease processes related to altered gas exchange.
  2. Compare diseases resulting from infectious processes.
  3. Differentiate disease processes related to altered respiratory structures.
  4. Evaluate case study data to determine the cellular pathophysiology of selected diseases.
