This theory/lab course examines the pharmaco-therapeutics, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of selected drug classifications, and safe intravenous (IV) therapy. Selected drug classes and therapeutic products explored in this course include those affecting the gastrointestinal system and nutrition, and endocrine, reproductive, cardiovascular, renal, and central nervous systems. Selected prototype agents for each drug classification are examined, including indications, mechanism of action, contraindications, adverse effects, interactions, routes of administration, nursing implications, and patient-centered teaching.
