Introduction to Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that speeds
up the growth cycle of skin cells. This results in thick, scaly
patches of skin, often accompanied by itching, burning, or
stinging sensations. If left untreated, psoriasis can cause
physical discomfort and emotional distress, impacting an
individual’s quality of life.
This learning module focuses on disease processes
associated with psoriasis and enables you to meet the
following course outcomes:
• CO 1: Analyze pathophysiologic mechanisms
associated with selected disease states across the
lifespan.
• CO 2: Examine the way in which homeostatic,
adaptive, and compensatory physiological
mechanisms can be supported and/or altered through
specific therapeutic interventions across the lifespan.
• CO 3: Distinguish risk factors associated with selected
disease states across the lifespan.
• CO 4: Integrate advanced pathophysiological concepts
in the diagnosis and treatment of health problems in
selected populations.
