NUR121 - Pharmacology Basics

Course overview

This is an important topic as medications have a great power to both help patients (in terms of curing disease or infection, relieving symptoms such as pain or nausea) and to harm patients (in terms of allergic reactions, overdoses, adverse reactions, or administering the wrong medication to the wrong patient.) All members of the healthcare team, who deal in any way with medications, should respect the power of medications and act accordingly.
