FOR
HEMATOPOIETIC
HEMATOPOIETIC
DISORDERS
DISORDERS
DISORDERS
This video covers the process of
hematopoiesis and its regulation by
different factors in the body. It explains
why hematopoietic agents are often
administered to patients following
chemotherapy or organ transplant and the
method by which colony-stimulating
factors are named. The lecture classifies
types of anemia based on their causes
and the role of intrinsic factor in the
absorption of vitamin B12. It compares
and contrasts different types of anemias
caused by vitamin B12 and folate
deficiency and describes the metabolism,
storage, and transfer of iron in the body as
an important blood forming factor. The
lecture describes the nurse's role in the
pharmacologic management of
hematopoietic disorders. For each of the
drug classes listed in Drugs at a Glance, it
identifies representative drugs, and
explains the mechanism of drug action,
primary actions, and important adverse
effects. It categorizes drugs used in the
treatment of hematopoietic disorders
based on their classification and
mechanism of action. Students learn how
to use the nursing process to care for
patients who are receiving drug therapy for
hematopoietic disorders.

DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS FOR FOR
FOR
HYPERTENSION
HYPERTENSION
This video looks at the major risk factors
associated with hypertension by
summarizing the long-term consequences
of uncontrolled hypertension. It explains
the effects of cardiac output, peripheral
resistance, and blood volume on blood
pressure and discusses how the
vasomotor center, baroreceptors,
chemoreceptors, emotions, and hormones
influence blood pressure. The lecture
covers how hypertension and
pre-hypertension are defined and reviews
the role of the nurse regarding the
non-pharmacologic control of
hypertension through patient teaching
regarding lifestyle modifications. Students
learn the nurse's role in the
pharmacological management of patients
receiving medications affecting the
autonomic nervous system. For each of
the drug classes listed in Drugs at a
Glance, it explains the mechanism of drug
action, primary actions, and important
adverse effects. Students learn how to use
the nursing process to care for patients
receiving antihypertensive medications.

DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS FOR FOR IMMUNE
IMMUNE
SYSTEM SYSTEM MODULATION
MODULATION
This video reviews the components of the
lymphatic system and their functions; and
specific and non-specific body defenses
including the antibody (humoral) and
cell-mediated immune responses. It
explains why immunosuppressant
medications are necessary following
organ transplants and types of agents
used. The lecture compares and contrasts
active immunity and passive immunity and
the nurse's role in the pharmacologic
management of immune disorders. For
each of the drug classes listed in Drugs at
a Glance, it identifies representative drugs,
and explains the mechanism of drug
action, primary actions related to
inflammation and/or the immune system,
and important adverse effects. The video
categorizes drugs used in the treatment of
immune disorders based on their
classification and mechanism of action.
For each of the major vaccines, it gives
the recommended dosage schedule.
Students learn how to use the nursing
process to care for patients receiving drug
therapy for immune disorders.

This video lecture looks at the common
signs and symptoms of inflammation and
outlines the basic steps in the acute
inflammatory response. It differentiates
between H1 and H2 histamine receptors
and some common causes, signs and
symptoms of allergic rhinitis. The lecture
covers the nurse's role in the
pharmacological treatment of inflammation,
fever, and allergies. For each of the
classes listed in Drugs at a Glance, it
identifies representative drugs, and
explains the mechanism of drug action,
primary actions related to inflammation
and/or allergies, and important adverse
effects. The video categorizes drugs used
in the treatment of inflammation, fever,
and allergies based on their classifications
and mechanisms of action. Students learn
how to use the nursing process to care for
patients receiving drug therapy for

This video lecture summarizes the link
between high blood cholesterol, LDL
levels, and cardiovascular disease and
different types of lipids found in the body
and their pathophysiologic importance. It
illustrates how lipids are transported
through the blood and the different types
of lipoproteins and examples of how
cholesterol and LDL levels can be
controlled through non-pharmacologic
means. For each of the drug classes listed
in Drugs at a Glance, it identifies
representative drugs, and explains the
mechanism of drug action, primary actions,
and important adverse effects. This video
categorizes antilipidemic drugs based on
their classifications and mechanisms of
action. It explains the nurse's role in the
pharmacological management of lipid
disorders and the nursing process to care
for patients receiving drug therapy for lipid
disorders.

DRUGS DRUGS FOR FOR LOCAL LOCAL AND
AND
GENERAL GENERAL ANESTHESIA
ANESTHESIA
This video looks at the major clinical
techniques for administering and major
chemical classes of local anesthetics. It
explains why epinephrine and sodium
hydroxide are sometimes included in local
anesthetic cartridges and mode of actions
of general anesthetics on the CNS. The
lecture compares and contrasts the
primary ways that general anesthesia may
be induced and its four stages. The video
impacts the knowledge of representative
drug examples for each of the drug
classes listed in Drugs at a Glance, and
explains the mechanism of action, primary
actions, and important adverse effects,
category and type of drugs used for
anesthesia based on their classification
and drug action. Students learn how to use
the nursing process to care for patients
