NURS 222 - Pathopharmacology I
Nursing 222 is the first course of a two-course sequence, which integrates concepts from pathophysiology and pharmacology. Concepts of pharmacology are applied with emphasis on the mechanism of action, interactions, adverse effects, and nursing implications of each drug classification using a body systems approach. Pathophysiological changes as a result of disease processes in the systems of the human body are explored. The course will include the effects of drug therapy across the lifespan, cultural considerations, the role and responsibility of the nurse to provide safe, effective administration of drug therapy within a legal/ethical framework as outlined by the nursing process.
