While basic drug concepts are essential, annual updates arenecessary due to the rapid changes that occur in the area of drug therapy. This course reviews and integrates the knowledge of physiology,chemistry, nursing fundamentals, calculations, and interpretation of medication orders as well as the knowledge and ability to administermedications safely. Awareness of drug therapy side effects, nursing intervention interactions, and pharmacokinetics are stressed. 3.00 credithours.
