,Chapter 1: Cellular Function
Chapter Objectives  Analyẓe the purpose and function of cellular structures.
 Analyẓe how various substances cross the cell membrane.
 Explain cellular energy sources and production.
 Discuss the process of protein synthesis.
 Summariẓe how cells are organiẓed.
 Analyẓe mechanisms of cellular proliferation, differentiation, and
adaptation as they relate to disease development.
 Describe the correlation between genetics, epigenetics, and
environment in disease development.
 Evaluate patterns of inheritance and compare how various
disorders are inherited.
 Compare and contrast genetic and congenital disorders.



Chapter Highlights This chapter discusses essential knowledge of basic cellular function and
dysfunction.


Learning Activities and Resources


Online Interactive The interactive lectures can be used as a self-paced, stand- alone online course,
Lectures or they can be assigned to students as part of a blended classroom approach.

As part of a blended approach (e.g., a flipped classroom approach) the
interactive lectures introduce students to the content that will be further
discussed during class.

 Instruct students to complete the online interactive lectures and
answer the Stop and Think exercises within each chapter before the
next class meeting.
 Although the student can complete the chapter in one sitting, if he
or she needs to take a break, recommend that they pause after a
Stop and Think activity.



Textbook Chapters The online interactive lectures focus on core foundational knowledge. Each
textbook chapter includes Diagnostic Links, Learning Points, Emerging
Research, and Application to Practice boxed features; tables; and figures not
included in the interactive lectures.

In addition, you may want to refer your students to the textbook for more
detailed discussions of the following:
 Cell structure (see Cellular Components and Table 1-1)




3

,  Cellular permeability (see Exchanging Material and Figure 1-2,
1-3, 1-4, and 1-5)
 Cell energy production (see Energy Production)
 Genetic information in the cell (see Chromosomes, DNA, and
Genes)
 Cell cycle (see Replication and Differentiation)
 Types of genomic mutations (see Genomic Instability)
 Selected Cancer Screening Guidelines (see Table 1-5)
 Prenatal Genetic Disorder Testing (Table 1-7)

Practice Activities Multiple choice study questions are provided for students to assess their
understanding of the content. Students receive immediate feedback about their
answer selection, allowing for deeper understanding. These questions are not
graded.

Case Studies Each case study provides a real-world context for students to see what they
have learned put into action.

Discussion Question: The discussion question is available online and included below as well.
Graded
Have students respond to the question on the online discussion forum or use it
in the classroom to guide an in-class discussion.

Online discussion forum:
The textbook provides an extensive overview of cellular structures and their
functions. Choose a specific topic discussed in the text (e.g., cellular
components, cellular permeability, energy production, or cellular replication
and differentiation) and explain why it is important for a nurse to understand
this topic.
Provide an example from your practice where you have used your knowledge of
basic cellular function when interacting with patients. After your original post,
you are expected to provide a meaningful response to at least two other
students.

In-class discussion:
Why is it important for a nurse to understand the specifics of cellular function?
What are some real-world examples of using this information in practice?

Answer: Answers will vary, but students should first discuss their beliefs
regarding the importance of understanding cellular function and then relate a
basic cellular concept directly to practice. A nurse may focus on how
knowledge of cellular replication and differentiation (including DNA,
chromosomes, and genes) can help explain the value of genetic testing to
patients hoping to conceive.
For example, a nurse may have discussed heritability of sickle cell anemia with
two patients with sickle cell trait.
