What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content

He aha te mea nui o te Ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata!

What is the most important thing in the world? It is people , it is people, it is people!

Tēnā koutou katoa, nau mai haere mai, a very warm welcome to your year three Applied Science paper.

The paper extends the knowledge gained from Applied health science II in Year II of the Bachelor of Nursing and continues to focus on physiology, pathophysiology and alterations in psychosocial processes. The aim of this paper is to scaffold student's knowledge from prior science topics and build an in-depth understanding of pathophysiological processes in long-term conditions. It also has a strong focus on exploring the impact of mental conditions on both physiological and pathological functioning of the body systems.
