NURSING 2010 - Pharmacology in Nursing II

Pharmacology for Nursing II extends the core pharmacological principles presented in Pharmacology for Nursing I. This course addresses nurses' role in the use and administration of complex drugs and more sophisticated routes and dosages of administration. The application of drug therapy to a broad range of clinical presentations with emphasis on respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, mental health disorders and pain and anti-infective therapy complements other courses within the Bachelor of Nursing program. An emphasis on safe administration of IV, IM and SC medications is made. Students will have an opportunity to consider the role of complementary “drug” therapies and learn of the nature of drug abuse and addiction.
