This course focuses on pharmacology and nursing therapeutics by presenting a firm theoretical foundation and a practical approach to drug therapy applicable in many settings- the home, the clinic, the extended care facility, the office, the classroom, and the hospital. The course reviews general principles, theories, and facts about drugs and how they are given. Practical information is presented on how the nursing process is integrated with pharmacology, and general principles of action are discussed to facilitate the student's learning in the clinical environment. Specific drug information is discussed in relation to assessment, nursing diagnoses, interventions, client education, and evaluation of safe and effective drug therapy.
