Course Description: This course is designed to provide nursing students with the knowledge of biological

factors influencing drug actions; predictable effects of medications on a physiological problem; modifiers of

the predictable effects; commonalities and variations between the actions of medications employed for

comparable therapeutic effects; adverse effects of medications that can and do commonly occur and

application of the nursing process in drug therapy.

Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

A. Nursing Process 1. Discuss drug classifications, indications of use, desired effects, potential adverse reactions and appropriate nursing interventions with selected medications.

2. Identify how the nurse uses the nursing process and the knowledge of pharmacological management when

working with clients and families of different cultures and ages.

3. Use the nursing process in the assessment, calculation, implementation and evaluation of medication

administration.

B. Critical Thinking 1. Utilize concepts of basic sciences in relation to pharmacokinetics when planning client care.

2. Recognize the mechanisms of drug action and interaction including the pharmaceutical, pharmacokinetic

and pharmacodynamic processes in medication administration.

3. Discuss the interactions that can occur between commonly used over the counter and herbal therapies with

prescribed medications.

4. Solve medication calculation problems correctly.

C. Communication 1. Discuss the importance of communicating safe medication calculation and administration.

2. Explain the importance of correct, concise documentation related to medication orders and administration.

D. Health Promotion 1. Define the role of pharmacology in health promotion and disease management.

2. Explain the interactions that can occur between lifestyle, diet and nutrition in pharmacological

management.

E. Professional Role

1. Explain how culture affects a client’s response to and compliance with drug therapy.

2. Discuss the impact of legislation and regulation on drug therapy and nursing.

3. Describe the role of the nurse in client and family education as related to drug therapy.

Evaluation of Student’s Progress: Any student who scores below 76% on their final examination will

receive one opportunity to retake the exam. The course lead instructor will provide the date of the retake

examination, and the retake must be completed before the end of the Quarter. The maximum score for the

retake examination will be 76%.

Attendance for Class: Students are expected to attend all designated class meetings. It is highly

advised for all students to attend the Student Success Program until the first exam is given then any

Academic Dishonesty within the Nursing Department:

Everest College Nursing Department expects every student to engage in all scholastic pursuits in a manner that is

beyond reproach. Students are required to maintain complete honesty and integrity in the classroom and/or

laboratory. Any student found guilty of dishonesty in scholastic work is subject to disciplinary action.

A. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on scholastic work, plagiarism and collusion.

B. Cheating on scholastic work includes:

Copying from another student’s test paper or other scholastic work.

Using, during a test, materials or equipment not authorized by the person administering the test.

Collaborating, without authority, with another student during an examination or in the preparation of

scholastic work.

Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting or soliciting, in whole or in part, the contents of

an un-administered test.

Soliciting, bribing or coercing an instructor or student grader to alter the score or grade achieved on a test

or other scholastic work.

Substituting for another student, or permitting another student to substitute for one-self, to take a test or

prepare other academic work or laboratory assignments/experiments.

Soliciting, bribing or coercing another person to obtain an un-administered test/examination or

information about an un-administered test/examination.

Using thoughts, words, or expressions of other’s works, including web-based information, as one’s own

(plagiarism).

All student conduct will support academic honesty. Any student who violates any of the criteria under A or B

above will receive an “F” or zero grade for that specific occurrence. Academic Dishonesty constitutes

unprofessional conduct and lack of good professional character. Any student participating in any form of

academic dishonesty will be scheduled to see the Campus Nursing Director and may be dismissed from the

6


program. The department goal is that each student completes his or her own work in order to master the skills

needed to deliver safe, competent nursing care.

This syllabus is a representation of the course content, organization and evaluation processes. The

Campus Nursing Director and faculty teaching this course reserve the right to reasonably alter the

sequences of activities, evaluation and assignment dates. Every effort will be made to inform class

members in advance of such changes. Students are responsible for following the syllabus and any

changes instituted by the faculty.
