NUR 51050 Advanced Pharmacology

This course builds on the student’s foundational knowledge of the pharmacotherapeutics used in the management of illness and the maintenance of health.  The action, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and adverse reactions of the major classes of medications used in clinical practice will be explored.   The integration of pharmacological processes and their application to body processes will be applied to enhance clinical reasoning, clinical judgment, and decision- making skills leading to quality nursing management of patients and evidence-based approaches to care.   This course is a part of the direct-care core for the nurse educator option of the MSN program.
