NURS 504 - Advanced Pharmacology Across the Lifespan

3.00 credit hours
The focus of this course for advanced practice nursing students is to expand theoretical and evidence-based knowledge and promote synthesis of pharmacotherapeutic concepts across the lifespan. The application of knowledge of pharmacological principles to prevent and/or treat specific conditions will be emphasized from a systems approach. Iatrogenic problems caused by the pharmacologic agents will be explored. Broad categories of drug classifications, cost-effective drug therapy, management and monitoring of therapy, including over the counter and herbal preparations and educating/counseling strategies will be included. Ethical, legal, cultural considerations and safety standards of pharmacotherapeutics will be discussed in relationship to the advanced practice nursing role. Legalities and regulations pertaining to prescription-writing privileges will be addressed.

Prerequisite(s): Previous or concurrent enrollment in NURS 505 .
