This course continues the study of pharmacology via a conceptual approach as it relates to nursing management of drug therapy. Emphasis is placed on drug classifications, prototypes, actions, interactions, adverse effects, and nursing implications; and on complex curricular concepts related to pharmacological modalities. Students are encouraged to utilize the nursing process and clinical judgment while applying concepts in a seminar setting; and, in conjunction with a knowledge of pharmacological principles and interventions, can put concepts into practice upon completing the course.
