This video describes the steps of the
Nursing Process in the pharmacology
perspective as it identifies assessment
data to be gathered pertinent to
medication administration. It helps
students develop appropriate nursing
diagnoses for patients receiving
medications and set realistic goals and
outcomes during the planning stage for
patients receiving medications. Students
learn key intervention strategies to be
carried out for patients receiving
medications, evaluate the outcomes of

PHARMACODYNAMICS
PHARMACODYNAMICS
This video looks on the applications of
pharmacodynamics to clinical practice and
how frequency response curves may be
used to explains how patients respond
differently to medications. It explains the
importance of the median effective dose
(ED50) to clinical practice, median lethal
dose (LD50) and median toxicity dose
(TD50). It explains how a drug's
therapeutic index is related to its margin of
safety and the significance of the graded
dose–response relationship to clinical
practice. Important terms such as potency
and efficacy and discusses while
distinguishing between an agonist, partial
agonist, and antagonist. Students learn
the relationship between receptors and
drug action and possible future
developments in the field of
pharmacogenetics.

PHARMACOKINETICS
This video looks at the applications of
pharmacokinetics to clinical practice by
identifying its components. It explains how
substances travel across plasma
membranes, factors affecting drug
absorption and transportation across
membranes, metabolism of drugs and its
applications to pharmacotherapy. The
video looks at how drugs are distributed
throughout the body and how plasma
proteins affect drug distribution;
meanwhile looking at the major processes
by which drugs are excreted. The lecture
outlines how enterohepatic recirculation
might affect drug activity and the
applications of a drug's plasma half-life
(t1/2) to pharmacotherapy as it explores
on how a drug reaches and maintains its
therapeutic range in the plasma focusing
on the differences between loading and
maintenance doses.

PHILOSOPHY
MARX MARX MARX RELOADED
RELOADED
By Jason Barker
MARX RELOADED is a cultural
documentary that examines the relevance
of German socialist and philosopher Karl
Marx's ideas for understanding the global
economic and financial crisis.
The recent crisis triggered the deepest
global recession in 70 years and prompted
the US government to spend more than 1
trillion dollars in order to rescue its banking
system from collapse. Today the full
implications of the crisis in Europe and
around the world still remain unclear.
Nevertheless, should we accept the crisis
as an unfortunate side-effect of the free
market? Or is there another explanation
as to why it happened and its likely effects
on our society, our economy and our
whole way of life?
Today a new generation of philosophers,
artists and political activists are returning
to Marx's ideas in order to try to make
sense of the crisis and to consider whether
a world without or beyond capitalism is
possible. Is the severity of the ongoing
recession a sign that the capitalist
system's days are numbered? Ironically,
20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall,
could it be that communism might provide
the solution to the growing economic and
environmental challenges facing the
planet?
Written and directed by Jason Barker –
himself an experienced writer, lecturer,
translator and doctor of philosophy –
MARX RELOADED includes interviews
with leading thinkers on Marxism,
including those at the forefront of a
popular revival in Marxist and communist
ideas. The film also includes interviews
with leading skeptics of this revival as well
as light-hearted animation sequences
which follow Marx's adventures through
the matrix of his own ideas.
Interviews with leading experts include:
Norbert Bolz, Micha Brumlik, John Gray,
Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Nina Power,
Jacques Ranciere, Peter Sloterdijk,
