Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is for the student to synthesize pharmacological knowledge (i.e., core drug
knowledge, core patient variables, and nursing implications) of pharmacotherapeutic agents into a useful
teaching and learning tool for nurses and patients.
Course outcomes: This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
CO1 Apply the concepts of pharmacotherapeutics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenomics to
the use of specific medication classifications in specific health conditions and in consideration of medication
side/adverse effects, nursing implications, and medication teaching. (POs 1, 2, and 3)
CO2 Apply principles of health promotion, as well as illness and injury prevention, to promote safety and effectiveness
of commonly used pharmacologic therapy across the lifespan, taking into consideration sociocultural,
genetic/genomic, developmental, and gender implications. (POs 3 and 8)
CO3 Utilize the nursing process in understanding the effects of drug therapy on health outcomes across the lifespan
within the framework of a diverse population of individuals, families, and communities. (PO 4)
