As faculty at Queen’s University of Charlotte, we decided to tackle a long-running curriculum issue: The “3Ps” of Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, and Physical Assessment are the cornerstone of every nursing curriculum. Yet, students studying the “3Ps” always struggle to relate and “connect” the content in one course to the content in the others. The traditional “separate course” approach was leaving both faculty and students frustrated; even our students requested a single 3P course in order to keep up with the required content. We all know that studying each subject individually has its value, but the downside is that, in reality, nursing practice requires us to draw on our knowledge of Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, and Physical Assessment— simultaneously—every day with every patient encounter. In nursing practice, nurses have to integrate them. So, we asked ourselves: Why not try integrating them in a single nursing course? And thus, the purpose and mission of a single “3Ps course”—and this book—was born. As instructors, we all know that students struggle to relate one course to the other, as they attempt to “pull” and apply information from the “3Ps” simultaneously. In creating a single, integrated 3Ps course and textbook, we saw that our students benefited from a different kind of pedagogical “scaffolding.” It was easier to draw on their strengths in two “Ps” in order to advance their knowledge in the third “P” more smoothly. We were rewarded to see that students’ mastery of the content deepened, and students demonstrated improved clinical thinking skills across the board. After “road testing” our lectures, learning activities, and curricula with our students, we partnered with the publishing team at F.A. Davis to create this text, with the aim of providing a foundational, integrative course text to cover the 3Ps of nursing. We believe this methodology promotes a deeper understanding of the concepts from these three essential—and challenging—content areas and guides students to recognize the importance of integration in the planning, delivery, and evaluation of nursing care. Equally important, we wanted to develop a text and graduate course based on the AACN guidelines and one that reflected our own commitment to application-based learning.
